Tara,
It’s pretty hard to find, actually. In fact, impossible, if you don’t know where to look. Right-click and choose Format AutoShape. On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Fill section (at the top of the dialog box), click the Color drop-down list and choose Fill Effects. Click the Picture tab. Then click Select Picture.

Hi Ellen,

Am trying to fill an Autoshape (Powerpoint 2002)- maybe I am being dense here but am getting no option that lets me fill the form with an image.Any ideas?

Best

Victor,
Ungrouped, the SmartArt lets you insert only text into the circles. When you ungroup, you get regular shapes and you can format them in any way, including filling them with a picture.

I never recognized the summary slide as made with PowerPoint 2007. I guess that is what custmization can do.
Can you explain why you have ungroup?
