Add Slide Background Fill to Shapes in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows

(No Ratings Yet)

You have already learned how to add different fills for shapes. Just like the Pattern fill option, there is one more hidden shape fill option which you can’t access from the Shape fill gallery — yet this is one of those fantastic PowerPoint features that you have to use to believe!
