can you please remind me how to fit a picture as the background on a slide ?
RE: background
Hi Rory
Thank you for using our forum
Are you looking to apply this background to all your slides or just a particular slide?
Kind regards

RE: background
just to a particular slide..
RE: background
Hi Rory
I would add the picture to the slide. Extend it to fit the entire slide size and then use Send to Back to put it behind other graphics or text (Home > Arrange > Send to Back)
Hope this helps
Kind regards

RE: background
Thank you Wendy - I thought there was a 'set/fit to background' option ?
RE: background
Hi Rory
You could also use the format background option to add a picture. There are multiple methods to achieve what you're trying to do. This method won't give you any formatting options though.
Try going to Design Tab > Variants group and select the drop-down menu > Background Styles > Format Background > Select Picture or Texture Fill > Browse or Select from File (depending on your version) and select your image.
Hope this helps
Kind regards
