|  PP07S-2.1.3, PP07S-3.4.1 You can quickly apply a texture fill to a shape by using the Texture gallery or using the Format Shape dialog box to select custom options. Stretch a texture to fit across the selected shape or repeatedly tile the texture horizontally and vertically to fill the shape. If you tile a texture, you can also set offset, scale, alignment, and mirror options to determine the appearance of the texture in the selected shape. The offset x and y options determine how much to scale a texture to fit a shape relative to the edges, while scale x and y options determine horizontal and vertical scaling. If you want to play with the tile look, you can change the mirror type to determine whether the alternating tiles display a mirror or flip image with every other tile. If the texture doesn't provide enough contrast in the shape, you can make the texture more transparent. Apply a Texture Fill to a Shape
