If you chose Image Fill or Tinted Image Fill, choose a scaling option from the pop-up

You can also modify a slide’s master slide, or even create a new one. See “Designing
Master Slides and Themes” on page 187 for more information.
Making the Same Change on Multiple Slides
You can quickly make the same change—for example, resizing text, repositioning a
graphic, or using a different background color—on many slides by modifying the
master on which the slides are based.
To make the same change on multiple slides:
1 Select a slide you want to modify.
2 Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Master Slides.
3 In the slide navigator, click the master slide used for the selected slide (the master slide
has a checkmark next to it).
4 Make your changes to the master slide.
All slides based on that master inherit the changes you make to the master slide.
