In our example, a tiled background is desired so a
texture is applied. However, the steps are the same when
applying a picture under the Picture tab.
In the Fill
Effects dialog box, select the Texture tab.
To use your own
graphic, choose the Other Texture button.
Browse and select the
desired graphic. Choose Insert and then OK on the
Fill Effects dialog box.
Click the Preview button if you would
like to see the texture applied to the slide without making the
change permanent.
If you like the way it
looks, and want to apply the texture to the current slide only,
choose Apply onthe Background dialog box.
If you want the texture applied to all the slides in the
presentation, choose Apply to All. The dialog box
automatically closes once you choose either button.
You've got it!
Now, take a look at the
background example in the graphic above. Notice how the text
and chart colors no longer seem to be appropriate for the
background. Let's explore how we can customize the color
scheme.
Customizing
Color Schemes
To change a color scheme:
Right-click anywhere on the background of the
slide, and choose Slide Color Scheme.
In the Color Scheme
dialog box, select the Custom tab.
Select the color next
to the attribute you want to change, and choose Change Color.
Note: If you are
using a graphic for the background, changing the background color is
not necessary.
Select an appropriate
color in the Change Color dialog box either by choosing
one from the Standard tab or by selecting your own color
from the Custom tab. Choose OK.
Continue selecting
attributes and changing colors until you are satisfied with the
scheme. If you would like to make the scheme available as
a standard scheme for other presentations you create, choose Add
as Standard Scheme. Standard schemes are available
under the Standard tab when you right-click and select Slide
Color Scheme on a background.
Choose Preview
to see your scheme on the slide without making the change
permanent, Apply to apply the scheme only to the current
slide, or Apply to All to apply the scheme to all slides
in the presentation.
At your next department
meeting, your boss raves about how knowledgeable you are with office
applications. To top it off, the presentation you made helped
to close the largest client deal in company history! Do I see
a raise in your next review?
