what happened to pattern fills in Powerpoint 2007?

[Mike]

I used to be able to put pattern fills into shapes on Powerpoint (and Excel).
Now I can't find it. I know that color is the new pattern, but I still often
use a B&W printer and would prefer the pattern fills. Any ideas or help?

Sorry, pattern fills are no longer available in PPT 2007.

Unfortunately it's gone. See this: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00925.htm
