Used way to apply background if you have Classic Menu for Office

In PowerPoint 2003, we can easily add and design background in our presentation from the Format drop down menu. However, in PowerPoint 2007 and 2010, the Format menu disappeared, and we can’t design, customize, and apply background from there any longer. If you have installed Classic Menu for PowerPoint, you will discover the Background styles and Hide Background Graphic under Format drop down menu.
