|  PP07S-2.1.3, PP07S-3.4.1 Applying a shape fill to a drawing object can add emphasis or create a point of interest in your presentation. You can insert a picture or clip art into a shape. You can insert a picture from a file or clip art from the Clip Art task pane, or paste one in from the Office Clipboard. Stretch a picture to fit across the selected shape or repeatedly tile the same picture horizontally and vertically to fill the shape. When you stretch a picture, you can also set offsets, which determine how much to scale a picture to fit a shape relative to the edges. A positive offset number moves the picture edge toward the center of the shape, while a negative offset number moves the picture edge away from the shape. If the picture appears too dark, you can make the picture more transparent. Apply a Picture Fill to a Shape
