MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007PowerPoint
I've a picture as background on slides. How can I make the background lighter or more translucent so the overlayed text shows better? Few ways: Click View > Master > Slide Master. Insert a rectangle autoshape which covers the entire slide. Double click on the rectangle. Set the fill to white, transparency to 85%, No line. Send the autoshape to the back. Close Master View. Alternately, Remove the background. Click View > Master > Slide Master. Insert the background by click Insert > Picture. Send the picture to the back. Click Slide Show > Custom Animation. Click Add Effect > Emphasis > Transparency. Set it to 80-95%. Set the Start to "With Previous". Close Master View.

Hello, As another alternative, for PowerPoint 2007 users. * Right-Click in an empty area on the slide and choose "Format Background .." command from the contextual menu. [NOTE: If the slide background is already a picture fill, the "Fill" option selected should be "Picture or texture fill" * At the bottom of the "Fill" tab of the dialog, adjust the Transparency setting until the background picture is at the desired level. * Close the dialog. Hope this helps. John Langhans [MSFT] Supportability Program Manager - PowerPoint > I've a picture as background on slides.
