background color

[Mary]

I would appreciate it if someone tell me how to apply the backgroung color to
a bitmap picture. It's is a newspaper scan. Appatently, I have done this once
by accident but by Murphy's Law I can't do it now. I don't want to use Paint
because it messes up my whole picture.

You can't apply a background color to a scanned image in PPT.

You can, though, make the background transparent in an image editing
program, save it as PNG, and then reinsert it into PPT.
