On the Format menu, click Background.
Under Background fill, click the arrow below the image, and then do one of the following:
Select a color from the color scheme
Click one of the eight colors displayed.
Select a color outside the color scheme
Click More Colors.
Click the color you want on the Standard tab, or click the Custom tab to mix your own color, and then click OK.
Select a fill effect or picture
Click Fill Effects, and then do one of the following:
To use shading, click the Gradient tab, click a type under Colors, click a shading style, and then click OK.
To use a texture, click the Texture tab, click the texture you want or click Other Texture to select a file and insert it, then click OK.
