I should have added this is a ppt with custom dimensions so that saving as an image format saves in the correct proportions/ratio to fill the standard XOT stage.

As Julian suggest make the image/canvas size 800 x 514 put your smaller image wherever you want inside that and save as .png which will leave the background transparent as long as it is in the application you are using.

Nathan - you already have a copy of the attached ppt and you can use that for this purpose.
1. delete the instructions on the slide or add a new blank slide
2. Insert, resize and position your image as required
3. File > Save As > Other Formats > Portable Networks Graphics Format (*png)
4. Choose every slide or current slide only as appropriate

Not sure. You might need to make a 800 x 514 image and place you image in it somewhere.

Hi All

I'm trying to add a background image to the title page in Xerte toolkits.  Is there an obvious way to prevent it from stretching to fill the slide and just display at actual size?

All help/suggestions gratefully received.

Nathan
