Can't figure out how to separate pics from slides

A newbie question to be sure. I'm using informational slides in between
pictures, but what I want to accomplish is to avoid having the slide
background behind pictures; some are portrait and some are landscape. I
don't want to lose the slide background on the informational slides, but I
don't want it behind the pics, just black. Can someone point me. Thanks.

On the slides you want to have the black back ground, click Format | Background
| Background fill, select Black, then select Apply *do not Select Apply to All*
this will make just the indicated slide have a black background.

Not being a reader, the only book I have looked at on this subject is one
written by a fellow MVP Brian Reilly, entitled "Create PowerPoint Presentations
In a weekend". I'm sure there are others out there. But, for a quick answer to
any question just ask it here.

I'm using PP 2002. Maybe you can recommend a good book.
Thanks, BuddyB
