Struggling to change powerpoint background on pre existing presentation

[Paul_Hossler]

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply. What is the BG?

Just had another play with the slides and I can't do anything to them at all, even if I if I go into design, format background the only thing that will actually work is the hide background graphics option, solid, gradient, picture or pattern fill don't do anything.

I am a little reluctant to pop a slide on here as it has company branding on it, and although I have their permission to use and rebrand the slides I don't think that I should be posting on a public forum :-(

BG = BackGround, i.e. the picture you want to use or something

Replace company name and sensitive data or what ever with "ABC"

Delete all but probably only 2 or 3 slides

There's many ways it could have been done, so we're probably just guessing without seeing an sample
