RE: Overlaying pages of text on top of one another (fanned out)

I think custom animations will be your best bet.

You can use Draw|Order to move one Word document above or behind another so
it shows the way you want it to when you animate it.

When I've had to do this kind of thing (documents fanned out) in the past,
I've usually found it easiest to take screen shots of the Word documents,
save those as images, and use Insert|Picture|From File to insert the pictures
of the docs onto my slide. Then I rotate each of the images a little so they
"fan," and then I add custom animation to each.

Holler if you need assistance with any of the specifics.
