A sample file is here:

In the sample file, the textbox is slightly to the left, and the photo
is slightly to the right, so that they do not overlap. This is the
only way to arrange the slide such that the textbox is accessible (can
be focused with the mouse).
Thanks.
Right click the photo to open a context menu. Click "Arrange" to open
another context menu, and click Send to Back. The "Hello World" should now
be on top. Arrange is what is used when you have more than one layer and you
want to change how the layers are placed on each other.

I tried it out, just for my own edification, and I can't make it work. I
right click the photo and get the dialogue box, but when I go to arrange I
get "No selection possible". What am I doing wrong?
With Mozilla Seamonkey (I suspect Firefox would be similar) selecting to
open the file immediately downloads the file to a temporary folder,
marks it as read-only, and opens it. OpenOffice realises that the file
is read-only, and disables any options for editing the file - such as
moving layers.
You should be able to save the file to disk and then open and edit it.
Or click the "Edit File" button on the OpenOffice toolbar (looks like a
notepad and pencil); a message says the file cannot be edited, and
offers to create a copy which you can edit.
Mark.
