Pictures+in+Powerpoint

When inserting pictures via powerpoint, instead of using standard clip art, you can also browse through files on your PC or laptop and insert them. Instead of using the template layouts, pictures may be formatted by "bringing them to the back or front" and then they can either become standalone picture slides or pictures with words on top of them. Pictures and templates however, may be combined, so you can have say an "apex" slide format in conjunction with a picture of Malcolm X. The picture would be "sent to the back" and appear large, however the style and font used by Apex will remain.

1. Go to your design tab and drop down the menu for background styles and click format background.

2. Select option, Picture of texture fill

3.Insert a file from your computer then hit close
