6 Objective 5 Remove Picture Backgrounds and Insert WordArt To avoid the boxy look that results when you insert an image into a presentation, use Background Removal to flow a picture into the content of the presentation. Background Removal removes unwanted portions of a picture so that the picture does not appear as a self-contained rectangle. WordArt is a gallery of text styles with which you can create decorative effects, such as shadowed or mirrored text. You can choose from the gallery of WordArt styles to insert a new WordArt object or you can customize existing text by applying WordArt formatting.

Thus, you have control over which portions of the picture that you keep. Here, by resizing the selection area on the left, a larger area of each flower in the fireworks is included in the foreground of the picture. On the right side of the fireworks picture, some dark red shadowing is visible as part of the picture.
