How to create letters with pictures in PowerPoint slides
This tip is about how to create a picture with a form of the letter.


To create a picture like this, you need two simple steps:
1. Create a shape from a letter.
2. Add a picture to the shape.
To create a shape from a letter, do the following:
1. Add any shape to the slide, for example, rectangle:
1.1. On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, select Shapes:

1.2. In the Shapes list, from the Rectangles group, select and add to the slide the Rectangle shape:

2. Add the letter you would like to use in front of the shape, for example:

3. Select the shape and the letter and then under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Insert Shapes group, choose the Merge Shapes dropdown list and then select Intersect:

You will see the new shape from the letter (see some additional steps in the bottom of this tip for letter O or How to make modern picture design in PowerPoint slide):

4. Right-click on the shape and then choose Format Shape... in the popup menu:

5. In the Format Shape pane, in the Shape Options tab:
- In the Fill section:
- Choose Picture or texture fill,
- Click on the File... button and then choose the picture you prefer:
- In the Line section, select No line:
Add any other adjustments you would like.
