Tech-Talk: PPT - Remove Background on One Slide
Intermediate

Have you ever wanted to use a great theme in PowerPoint, but couldn't because certain design elements would be in the way on some slides?
[background]

You may have a look set up with your company branding that's great for displaying text and bulleted lists on your slides. However, sometimes when you add content like pictures, tables or graphics, the design becomes a problem.  You may need every inch of the slide for the content that you're trying to display.

There is a way that you can make the background theme design disappear, just on one slide! It makes using fun themes much easier!

[remove background]

You can "turn off" the background on any individual slide and one of three different things instead.

  1.  Make the background plain white ... or any solid color (as shown above)
  2.  Add a picture, pattern or texture as the background.
  3.  Replace the background with a gradient color design. (see below)
[gradient background]

Format Slide Background

[hide background]When your background slide design clashes with the content you've added to a slide, here's how to remove the background, or add something different.

  *   In any View (we like using Normal), go to the Design tab.

  *   In the far right under the Customize section, click on Format Background.

  *   To hide the background design, check the box, Hide background graphics.

Now, if you want to add other options, you can choose a solid or gradient fill, or use a picture, texture or pattern. PowerPoint has pre-designed options when you make these choices, or you can upload your own.

The changes are made to the one slide only, not your whole presentation.

CAUTION: Make sure not to go crazy with the variety of options so that your slide presentation will still have a cohesive look.

[Communications]Communications:  Talking and Writing
Where have all the adverbs gone?

Here's a little game for you!  See how many times you notice when an adverb is missing.

These days, we often hear an adjective in place of an adverb.  As you may recall, adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs.  Adjectives modify nouns.

EXAMPLES:  (Wrong.  Right.)
He speaks slow.
He speaks slowly.
You did good.
You did well.

She said that correct.
She said that correctly.

This can be a fun challenge to do with yourself.  It's not the kind of thing however that you want to be doing for others ... unless you have that special kind of relationship.
