Altering Template Background

[KFlynn]

Hello All:

I have found some excellent templates on Microsoft.com, more specifically at
the link http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/ct101438941033.aspx

The one I am interested in is Realty Modern Design, Urban Modern Design and
Health Stylish Design.

My only problem is how do I adjust the background colours and embedded
graphics, such as the leaf on the title page of the Realty Modern Design. I
know how to chage the font, text and other things using styles and such but I
cannot figure out how to change the actual colours of the background!!!

Any suggestions and/or pointers would be HUGELY appreciated.

Thanks in advance......

Use a graphics editor on the background image.

Thanks for taking the time JoAnn..........not to be totally dense, but I
thought of that however I cannot copy and paste into photoshop. I have to put
it into Paint first and then convert to a JPEG and then put into Photoshop.
When I past back I have to mess with the size and it never truly comes back
right....


Is this the best way, or do you have other more specific suggestions?

Thanks again JoAnn.................appreciate your time.

Without knowing what happens when you copy and paste into PS, have you
considered recreating it to suit your needs?
