Change powerpoint presentation background

I have been sent a powerpoint document with a back that I want to copy and ammend slightly.

So how do I "lift" the background artwork, so that I can change on my own computer then reapply it as a background image.

Cheers

Try making a "print screen" from a blank slide and paste it to an image editor program. Then just save it and apply again to the presentation.
(Or what other photo editing software you prefer) :)

Actually, if the background was set using Format Background | Fill | Picture, then you can make a blank slide as Techn9cian suggested, then just File | Save As and choose an image type -- JPG or PNG. Opt to save just the current slide, and you'll have the image of the background.

I like this method because I don't have to worry about perfectly cropping the background image from the screenshot or anything like that....
