The chosen theme will disappear from the slide. This and all other slides that you’ve picked will remain different from the rest of the presentation.

You can also hide background graphics on all slides in your PowerPoint presentation. This is convenient if you like the format of the theme (position of text, font, etc.) but you don’t like the graphics.

You can easily hide background graphics by following these steps:

2. Click the ‘Themes’ tab.

Sometimes the situation is reversed and you’d like to remove everything but the theme graphics from your slide. If you encounter a theme with a perfect graphics and format but the background image is sticking out, you can remove it while leaving the graphics intact.

3. Select ‘Solid Fill’ from the menu.
   
4. Click the paint bucket icon next to the ‘Color’ section.

How to Access Background Graphics in Slide Master View in PowerPoint?

So, the first thing you need to understand is how do you access these background graphics as PowerPoint doesn’t even allow you to select it! Well, the trick is to open the Slide Master.

Slides Master view is one of the special features of Microsoft PowerPoint. This feature allows you to quickly modify your slide layouts in your presentation file. It allows you to also add placeholders and graphics to your slide!

To access background graphics in the slides master view, here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Open the PowerPoint Presentation

The first step is to open your presentation file in the PowerPoint application. Go to the specific slide where you are unable to select a particular element on your slide.

Step 2: Click on “View”, and then select “Slide Master”

Now click on the “View” tab located on the top of the screen and select “Slides Master” from the “Master View” section.

Step 3: Enable the “Hide Background Graphics” option

In the slide master view, find the “Hide background graphics” located in the “Background” ribbon. If the button is grey, that means you can now access the background graphics.

How to Edit Background Graphics in PowerPoint?

When editing the background graphics in PowerPoint, there are 2 things that we need to keep in mind!

1. Edit background graphics for all your slides – this option is usually used when you want to add, edit or delete background graphics to all slide. For example, if you want to add or remove page number from all the slides, or add a logo to all the slides.
2. Edit background graphics for a specific slide – this option is used when you want to edit placeholders on a specific slide. For instance, if you want to edit the image on a slide, or change the text placeholder, or even change the color of the shape of a graphic used on a particular slide

In this section, I’m going to discuss both methods step-by-step.

Edit Background Graphics for all the Slides in Slide Master

When you want to make a change to be visible on all your slides (such as adding a logo), you can use the Master Slide in the Slide Master View.

Let’s see how this is done –

Step 1: Enter the Slide Master View in PowerPoint

Open the presentation file in the PowerPoint application and choose “View>Slide Master” to open the file in slide master view.

Step 2: Scroll up to locate the “Master Slide”

In the slide master view, scroll up in the left navigation panel and select the master slide (the first slide).

Step 3: Add a logo to the Master Slide

For this example, I’m going to add the logo of Art of Presentations to the “Master Slide” in the top right corner of the slide. You can add any logo or any other image file for the purpose of an example.

As you may have noticed, as soon as you add the logo to the master slide, the logo is visible on all the slides in the same position i.e. top right corner of the slide.

This is how you can edit or add background graphics all at once to all your slides. Now, you can also go to each slide and paste the logo on every single slide. But, that’s just very cumbersome and takes a lot of time! This is a much better way to add or edit graphics that should be visible on all slides.

You can also try this method

 Go to View tab, click Slide Master in Master Views section. You’ll find the newly added Slide Master tab next to File.

2. Switch to Insert tab, then you can click WordArt in Text section, and choose a style you like to insert it.

Input the text in the textbox. Here I entered “WATERMARK”.

3. You can drag the dotted frame to adjust location, size and direction. What’s more, you can click it and then go to Format  (Drawing Tools) tab, expand the drop-down menu of Text Fill, choose any color you like, or hit Gradient – More Gradients… to evoke the Format Shape pane.

4. Here you can change the Transparency of the Text Fill as well as Text Outline. It will make the WordArt you inserted more like a watermark.

5. If you don’t want a pure text watermark, you can choose a shape from the list of Shapes in Insert tab. The way to adjust the inserted shape is almost the same. Furthermore, you can combine a shape and a WordArt to make it more informative.

6. After that, you can hit Close Master View in Slide Master tab to quit it.

7. You can see the watermark can’t be modified or deleted by normal means now, no matter it’s created by insert shape or insert WordArt. If you truly want to remove it, the only way is to enable Slide Master again, select the watermark and press [Del] key to delete it.

Conclusion

If you are editing the word file then it will be best for you to select the contents of that word file and then save that contents into pdf. It will help you to convert the word file into pdf without losing any contents of the file. To make sure your document protected against all the unauthorized uses you must install this tool.
