Gradient Fills

[Challenged]

I would like to use a gradient fill in a table cell background so that it
would float.

It looks like you are constrained to using solid colours. Is there a trick
to doing this?

I suppose you could create a gradient fill garphic and use it a a background
picture but this does not rally do the job.

Thanks

Creating the graphic is how you would do it.

Hi Tom - Thanks. Do you mean that I would have to draw a group of shapes
instead of grouping the basic shapes available on Powerpoint? I have a group
of arrows in a flow chart and want to group these and then apply the gradient.

thanks

Create an image of the entire flowchart, in GIF or JPG format. You can do
this by opening the PowerPoint presentation, going to the slide with the
flowchart, hitting CTRL-PRINT_SCREEN to copy the whole screen to the
clipboard, then opening up Paint and pasting into it. The trim the "fat" off
the Paint image in Paint, and save in GIF format.
