Save the image to a location such as your desktop and right click the image file and choose 'set as Desktop Background'. If you cannot seem to save the file. You can always take a screen shot using PRINT SCREEN button way above the arrow keys of your keyboard.

ALTERNATIVELY you can actually extract images or sound by using the following method.





* Choose File, Save As Web Page


* In the Save As dialog box make sure that the "Save as type:" is set to "Web Page (*.htm, *.html)


* Choose a folder to save to and give the file a name


* Click Save





PowerPoint creates a single HTML file using the name you just specified. It also creates a new folder called [Name]_Files ... for example, if you named the HTML file MyFile, PowerPoint creates a file called MyFile.htm and a folder called MyFile_Files.





Open that folder. There you'll find a whole bunch of files, but among them will be the sounds and original image files from your presentation.|||go into power point look for the folder with the pictures in.. copy them you need to your pictures folder. right click on the desk top. click on setting, click on change back ground.. browse to you pictures folder pick the one you want click ok and there you have it
