Picture backgrounds

[Britney Thomas]

How do I put a picture in the background of a pwpt presentation without the
size getting distorted? I have tried locking the aspect ratio but then it
only puts part of the picture in the background. Also, I have tried leaving
the program to do its own thing and the picture (which is taller than wide)
keeps coming out stretched to the whole slide size....it's driving me bonkers!
Thanks,
Britney

Britnet,

How are you putting the picture in powerpoint ?

Are you "insert menu > picture > from file"
or are you "format > background > fill effects > picture" ?

Cheers
