 An image that you
insert on a Slide or Title Master will appear on every slide, but it does not have to be sized
to cover the whole slide like a background does. This is the easy way to get
your logo and decorative touches onto each slide in exactly the same
position and size, like in the example here.You can combine drawing objects, imported images, and gradient and pattern fills to create quite complex and subtle backgrounds.
Starting with PowerPoint 2002, you can use multiple Slide Masters. So now you can create a separate Master for those slides that don't need the problem image. |

The compound image
at the right comes from one of the design
templates. It looks like a single image. But, it is actually made
with a gradient background fill plus an imported graphic that contains the numbers and
the squiggle and another line of numbers that does not show in the thumbnail. 
Any image that
you include on the Slide Master will appear on every slide that uses
that master. You cannot remove it for an
individual
slide that uses that Master. Choose the size and location on the slide carefully. 
It is easy to change the size of an image
