Gradient background in powerpoint 2007 ...

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Konrad_M=FChler?=]

Hi,

I have a design from my old Powerpoint XP with a gradient in the
background from white (top) to light blue (bottom). This I would change
to white->light green in Powerpoint 2007.
But in the master I only can choose between ugly gradients in crazy
colors. I can set one color, but this is pretty useless for a gradient
from one color to another.

How can I set a gradient background correctly in Powerpoint 2007?
Or do I have to create the background in Powerpoint XP and import it to
Powerpoint 2007?

Thank you very much
Konrad

Yeah, the gradients in PPT 2007 are beautiful, but the gradient *tool*
sucks.

http://www.echosvoice.com/gradients.htm should help you, though.
