I
liked being able to change the text box color. Can I do
the same thing with the background? That will really jazz
things up! |  |

Changing your background
color
In PowerPoint it's easy to change the background color of
the slide you are working on. Let's say you want to change
the color of the slide to light blue. Here's what to do:
1. Click the Format menu, then click Background.
The Background dialog box will appear.
2. In the Background fill section, click the
arrow on the list box to open it.
3. Click More colors to open the Colors
dialog box.
4. In the Colors section, click a light
shade of blue.
5. Click OK to close the Colors dialog box.
6. In the Background dialog box, click the Preview
button to see a preview of the slide color.
7. If you like what you see, click the Apply
button. The background color of the slide is now light
blue.

Okay,
now my teleprompter is telling me to ask about background
patterns. What do you have to say about that? |
|
Well,
it's an easy way to add some texture to a presentation.
Polka Dots. Plaids. Stripes... |
|
It
sounds like Jim's golfing outfit. |

|
Ouch... |
