Inserting images

Hi Marius
If I insert the image, send to back is greyed out, so how do I proceed from here.
thanks
Justine

RE: inserting images

Hello Justine,

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that your images rotate in 'set as background'.

I'm assuming you are already doing the following to set as background:
Right-click on slide > Format Background > Picture or texture fill > Insert > From a file.

If this method still rotates your image, you can try the following:

Insert the picture straight onto the slide (Insert > Pictures)
Resize the picture to fill the slide
Right-click > Send to back
Right-click > Lock

This will effectively make the picture a background image which can't be moved accidentally.

You can 'fade' the picture by right-clicking the picture and adjusting the transparency in Format Picture.

I hope this will help.

Kind regards
Marius Barnard

RE: inserting images

Hi Marius

It seems you can't resize and image and then 'send to back' you can only send to back an un resized image and also when you resize to fill the slide it distorts the image. Any other ideas?
