changing background of a clip art picture or cutting the object

[Guest]

Hi! I found a clip art picture that I like and I want to put it on a slide.
The picture has a white background that I don't know how to change to a
different color. The slide's color is light blue. I want to put the picture
either without the backgroud(only the object) or change the background of the
picture to light blue so that it looks part of the original slide. I don't
have idea how to do that. Please if you be so kind to help me I would
appreciate it very much.

Depending on what kind of clip it is, you might be able to use the
transparency wand on the Picture toolbar. Click it, then click the white
background.

Or try ungrouping. Select the clipart then choose Draw | Ungroup. Choose
Draw | Ungroup again. Then select the white piece and delete it. Select a
remaining piece and choose Draw | Regroup to regroup the remaining pieces.
