Background shape fill issue?
Hi All,
I thought I would ask the community before I log this as a glitch.
I have built my slide with several hexagon shapes set to background fill. In the design view it looks the way I want it. However, when I switch to preview the effect is broken?
In SL360In Preview and Review360I am hoping that I have just missed a setting?
The only workaround I can think of is to merge shapes in Powerpoint and copy the hexagons in.
Hi TobyDLockyer,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this snag.
We are currently monitoring a known issue that causes shapes that use the "Slide Background Fill" setting to use the background from the original shape if they were copied/duplicated.
You can add the hexagon shapes one at a time instead of copying as a workaround, and the effect should work.
We'll let you know when we have updates on the bug!
That is awesome thank you for coming back to me so quickly. I will give that a go and see what happens!
