Create a vertical striped background

Good evening,

Indeed, the pattern option was removed in the 2007 version and restored since the 2010 version.
What's amusing is that it works via macro.

Here’s a solution without a macro:
- You go to Word. You insert a rectangular shape and apply the blue and white striped pattern to it
(yes, because in Word, it hasn’t been removed!)
- You copy your rectangle and paste it into Word.
- You right-click on the rectangle and save it as an image (which you name "stripes", for example).
- You go to the customization of your PPT background, choose Image, click on File and select your "stripes" file...

And there you go, it's done.

Hello,
Try right-clicking on the slide, formatting the background, fill, fill pattern, selecting a pattern and colors, then apply everywhere.
In creation, work on the slide master under View.

Hello,

Thank you for your response, but in "fill," I don't have the pattern option; I only have "solid," "gradient," or "picture or texture," and none of them have vertical stripes :( (Office 2007).

Sorry, I didn't specify that it was OFF 2010.
Maybe by creating a texture or a watermark.

Hello

just an idea that comes to mind: if you integrate a chart, you then have the option to have a grid.

Hello

For the blue color, you first need to choose a theme. The Office theme corresponds here
Then go to the Design tab / Background group / Background Styles / Fill / Fill Pattern and choose your pattern

Hello,

Thank you very much for your responses.
So, for the chart, I think it could be a good idea, but not in my case (I’m using PPT to make a slide with photos from 4 generations, kind of like a family tree) and I'm afraid the chart would be too "rigid"... But I’ll keep the idea for another use.
I've looked hard, but I can't find "filling pattern"; it either suggests textures or gradients... Nothing with stripes...
I know, I'm complicated ;)
Anyway, thank you.

Hello,

So, I can successfully change the background color, but no matter how hard I look, I don't see the texture options in my menu :(

Super!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for the tip, I wouldn't have thought of that.. well, a little adaptation, I left it as a rectangle by putting it in the background because when I save it as an image, the result is totally different from what was originally saved, the lines are all cramped...
Thanks again!!!!
