background/ tiling in a slide?

[Bruce]

Is there a way to tile a background.
Normally on a picture, you insert, and it maximizes to the whole slide.
Rather than stretch a small picture is there way to tile it?
thanks Bruce

You probably need to do the manual way.
Click View > Master > Slide Master.
Click Insert Picture > From File. Select the picture you want.
Copy the picture and make a duplicate. Repeat the step and line it up
horizontally.
Hold Shift key on your keyboard and click on the pictures. Group them as one
picture.
Now, right click on copy the grouped image. Paste the image.
Repeat the step and line it up vertically. Close Master View.

Hi Bruce,
Instead of inserting the picture as a picture, insert it as a texture. To do
this, right click, select Background. From the drop down, select Fill
effects. Go to the Texture tab. Use the Other texture button to navigate to
your picture. It will tile at full size.

Let us know if that works for you.
