Can anyone help me! Why does the clipart background on a template created in
powerpoint 2003 , which is white, change to blue instead when opened in
powerpoint 2007. No matter what I do the background colour wont change.

I'm confused. Are you having trouble with the slide background or with the
clipart?

The logo i.e clipart on the original document has a white background, which
was done in Powerpoint 2003. When I try to open the same document in
Powerpoint 2007 the logo has a blue background, and I dont know why.

Okay, thanks.

I am going to guess that the logo is an EMF or WMF and that it had been
recolored in 2003. The recoloring mapped to a color scheme color. When you
open in 2007, the color schemes don't map the same way, so I'm betting that
white has been replaced with blue in the color scheme. And so it's showing
up in the EMF/WMF logo.

This is complete guesswork, mind you. But offhand, I can't think of anything
else that would cause a color shift like that.

Unfortunately, the recoloring tool in PPT is gone. I would either use the
magic wand on the blue and see if that removes it well enough to live with
it. Otherwise, I'd ungroup the logo and delete the background square or fill
it with white.

Ungroup is available on right-click. Magic Transparency Wand is on Picture
Tools Format | Recolor (on the left) | Set Transparent Color.
