How can I add a background to a PowerPoint slide?

To add a background to a PowerPoint slide, follow these steps:

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide where you want to add a background.
2. Click on the “Design” tab in the PowerPoint ribbon.
3. In the “Background” group, click on the “Background Styles” button.
4. A drop-down menu will appear, allowing you to choose from pre-designed background styles or select “Format Background” for more customization options.
5. If you choose a pre-designed background style, simply click on the desired style to apply it to your slide.
6. If you select “Format Background,” a sidebar will appear on the right side of your screen. From here, you can choose to apply a solid color, gradient, picture, or texture as your background.
7. To add a picture as your background, click on the “Picture or texture fill” option, then click on the “File” button to browse and select the image you want to use.
8. Adjust any additional settings, such as transparency or tiling, to customize your background further.
9. Once you are satisfied with your background, click the “Apply to All” button if you want to apply the same background to all slides, or click “Apply” to apply it only to the current slide.
10. Your PowerPoint slide now has a background added to it.
