I have the same basic question as Joobali. I do song lyric slides for our church. In PPT 2003 I create a set of related but different master backgrounds and save them together as one design template. Then I can vary the background from song to song, while still keeping a related look. I can also use a more detaled background on title only slides, and a more plain background for lyric slides. It's much quicker and easier than importing a picture separately for each slide. I have found no way in PPT 2007 to change the theme background on a per slide basis. That's why I'm back to 2003 for my church slides. So if there is a way, please give a detailed explanation. I would really appreciate it.

Pick the design/theme you only want applied to the selected slide. Right click that design thumbnail. From the right click menu, select "Apply to selected slides". -- Kathy Jacobs, Microsoft MVP OneNote and PowerPoint Author of Kathy Jacobs on PowerPoint Get PowerPoint and OneNote information at www.onppt.com I believe life is meant to be lived.

Slide 2 click on it so u are in edit view - like the part where u can put words in or pics or what ev) then click on design Now u must right click the slide design you prefer and click on 'Apply to Selected Slides' and that will apply it to your slide (in this case Slide 2) and then for the next slide do the same using whatever design you prefer! I hope this helps!     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Michael Koerner 12/5/2008 3:11 AM PST   Depends on your version of PowerPoint -- Michael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint "Helper" <Helper@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F9FA1AA4-0229-45FC-B6C5-F61B97C2150F@microsoft.com...
