Adding Backgrounds to Slides

You can use the Background button in the
Text fx dialog to create slides that contain
text on a colored background or pattern.
Background colors can be selected using
the Color button at the bottom of the
dialog. In addition, 100 background
patterns are displayed in the Backgrounds
dialog. This dialog displays small previews
of all available backgrounds. These are the
types of slide backgrounds you would see
in a business presentation.
The Backgrounds dialog.
Backgrounds are divided into five
categories: Corporate Backgrounds,
Gradients, Textured Gradients, Textures,
and Wild & Fun.
When you apply a background, it
replaces the image currently displayed
in the Preview window. If you want to
add a background slide to your show
without replacing an existing frame,
ensure that the Current Frame
Indicator is set on the frame following
the last frame in your show. Then,
merely click-and-drag the new
background slide to its desired position.
To use a color as a background:
Click the Color button at the bottom
of the Text fx dialog, and choose a
color from the picker that appears.
The Color button.
To add a background pattern to a slide:
1. Click the Background button at the
bottom of the Text fx dialog. The
Backgrounds dialog appears.

2. Click to select a background, or click
one of the other buttons at the bottom
to see more background gradient and
texture options.

the text in the current frame. The old
background or image is replaced.

Text fx dialog without selecting a
background.
