Hello,
I have been using powerpoint 2010 to design the backgrounds for my reports in Power BI. Typically I create all of my reports as 16:9 in Power BI and I also setup my powerpoints to be a custom size as 16:9. I have noticed though when I do this the grids in powerpoint do not line up with Power BI and my powerpoint background tends to take many revisions until it actually fits in Power BI.
I know that using powerpoint as a way to design backgrounds was suggested in a webinar so I was wondering if anybody else uses powerpoint and has any tips on designing backgrounds.
Thanks for any feeback!

Hi @rsimcoe,
Do you mean you create a PowerPoint slide and save it as the image, use it as report Page Background like below?
If that is a case, we can change Image fit to place the image in a proper way.
