Symbols for PowerPoint are ready to use clip-art style icons that you can use within your presentation slides. All icons can be recolored using PowerPoint’s native options for fills, lines, and effects. These symbols are contained within a sample presentation you can download. Just copy the icon you like and paste into another PowerPoint slide, or even a Word document or Excel worksheet. Choose symbol icons from themes such as business, travel, music, etc. All these symbol icons are vector shapes, so you can easily edit them within your Microsoft Office program.

A client asked us recently “can I use the PowerPoint content you’ve developed for us on an iPad?” The answer we gave was “what a great question, can we get back to you”!

In this series on fills for shapes, I have already explored solid fills, gradient fills, picture fills, and texture fills for shapes in PowerPoint 2010. Now I show you how you can use the Pattern fill option. If you are a PowerPoint old-timer, you will remember that Microsoft removed this option in PowerPoint 2007 although it existed in PowerPoint 2003 and previous versions. With PowerPoint 2010 for Windows, they bring back this option but they have buried it in a dialog box rather than including it within the Shape Fill gallery.
Learn how to add (or change) a pattern fill to a selected shape in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows.

You have already learnt how to add different fills for shapes in PowerPoint 2010. Just like the Pattern fill option, there is one more hidden shape fill option which you can’t access from Shape Fill gallery. The Slide Background fill option is different from other shape fill options because instead of filling something into the selected shape, it makes the slide background area behind the shape visible into the selected shape.
