Hi Oliver,

I'm not sure if this will help, it's a bit of a bodge: set .po 6c, so the text 
appears on the right of the slide, then add a routine (.dopic) which places a 
picture (specified in \*[pic]) in the big left margin and if you wish to 
change the picture within the slide just call .dopic manually.

Example pdfs are here:-

I started at Valence when I was 7 and was there for 10 years.

PS You need current groff (and perlmagick) to embed jpegs in a pdf, if using 
1.23.0 the images have to be separate pdfs.
