Fill effects - Textures

[Guest]

Hi - I have 2 questions regarding the fill effects option

1. I used the Texture option to fill an object, and the jpg image that I
chose became a permanent menu choice. How do I delete that image now from
the menu of options?

2. I also would like the jpg image to "tile" and fill the object, rather
than expanding in size to fill the object. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,

1) To delete the image from the texture options, you would have to remove it
from the fill.

And, as far as I know:

2) Using the texture fill option (as opposed to the Picture) is as close as
you can get to tiling the image natively in PowerPoint.

Other folks here may know of a way that I haven't thought of.

I agree- there isn't another way to tile something other than with textures.
However, I have found that if your texture sample is small enough, you will
get a tiled effect when it is used. You can see this when you apply the
texture to a large shape or the background. If you want a shape to be filled
with a tiled texture, the graphic in the file needs to be smaller than the
shape it is being used to fill.

(By the way, the only way I know of to get a graphic to expand to fill a
shape is to use a picture fill.)
