I can't remove a background image in Powerpoint 2007

5

I have a Powerpoint 2007 document. There is this annoying background graphic in my Powerpoint slide. I know about slide master, but this little bugger is not something that I can delete from slide master. Argh!!!!

The graphic is a little pumpkin at the bottom of the slide and my company logo at the top.

Here is a copy of the document. I've already lost two hours of my life on this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

In this case the exclamation marks are warranted. Terrible ui design: this function should be accessible via menus. – javadba – 2017-12-17T21:35:37.420

I found it. Click on "View". Then click "Slide Master". You see on the left a series of panels stacked Vertically. The problem is that the graphics were in one of the panels above the panel that appeared first. I was going down but not up. Once I checked out the panels above I found the one with the annoying graphic.

Thanks

This is such a terrible usability issue. Why is that option not in the menus??? The user interface designers want us to click on every single thing on the page to find it?? – javadba – 2017-12-17T21:34:56.140
