Create a vertical striped background

MHFD -  
Hello,

I'm making a PowerPoint presentation and I need to integrate a light blue vertical striped background on a slide. I can't find a solution...
Has anyone encountered this before and can help me?

Thanks in advance

    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.

      I’m correcting a small mistake:
      "you copy your rectangle and paste it into PowerPoint"

      Because in v2007, you cannot save a shape as an image from Word.

      Yes, yes, that's what I did... and once in PowerPoint, I saved it as an image so that the background would appear when I customize the background in the menu...

    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.

          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.

                No, not complicated, just a reading problem...

                PS ... and I hadn't seen that the answer had already been given. Sorry Jparcachon :)

              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!!!!

                  In principle, this should be correct.
                  That said, you can always space the stripes using the left and right offset options by using negative numbers.
