Slide background

Hi Bernard, thanks for your query. In Powerpoint 2007, click on the Design tab on the ribbon and then, on the right hand side, click on the "Background Styles" drop down. There is a "format background" option in that drop down which will allow you to change the solid fill colour of the slide, and if you then click on "Apply to all" button at the bottom right, it will recolour every slide.

That's the long way round, but you can quickly access that dialog box by right-clicking on your slide (outside of any of the placeholders) and then choosing Format Background.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
