Here's the issue,



1. Blank slide
2. Select Insert shape and choose FreeForm
3. Create a square but at an slight angle so it's not straight on but slightly askew to the right.
4. Right click on shape and choose format shape
5. Under Fill select picture and insert picture or graphic and not a color
6. As you can see the picture is not the same aspect ratio as the the original flat image.
The image is slightly off anytime you are not using a shape that is one dimensional. Anytime you use any type of X, Y or Z rotation on that image it will still display as a flat image in your three dimensional box. This displays as slightly out of alignment. My question is how can you place any graphic image into a shape and have it display in alignment with what ever angle your shape is.

This sounds like you have the wrong forum- not a Project issue. If its Powerpoint,(which it sounds like) would be better posting in the relevant section.

Hmm....which might that be since I thought this PowerPoint section was the one.

Moe - I've moved your thread to the PowerPoint Forum

Hi Moe

It's not totally clear what you are trying to do and there is no attachment.

When you fill a shape with a picture its orientation is based on the rotation of the shape. If you draw a freeform at a slight angle to PPT its rotation is still zero. I guess this is the problem

Solutions:

Is there a reason why you cannot add a square - rotate it slightly and then fill. If needed you can then use Drawing Tools > Format > Edit Shape > Edit Points to modify the shape.

If you must use a freeform it will be more difficult.

Draw the shape (as accurately as possible)
Insert Picture (not fill the shape)
Rotate the picture until it has exactly the same rotation as the freeform (it needs to be exactly the same to work well)
Copy the picture
Select the freeform and choose fill > Picture or Texture and click CLIPBOARD

Takes longer to explain than do. If you are not accurate there may be unfilled areas.

This might help you follow the instructions
