I want to add a feature to a PowerPoint add-in (.ppam) created in PowerPoint 365, Windows 10.
The normal VBA procedure for setting a slide's background to photo (which I have used often) is something like: currentslide.Background.Fill.UserPicture (full URL of picture file).
Simple question: if I already have an image (on the surface of the slide) selected, is there a VBA method for "pushing" that image to the slide background?  The workaround would be to save the selected image as a file in a temporary location, then re-import that file as the background fill. Just wondering if there is a way which uses the image object directly instead of that 2-step process?
Thanks!

PowerPoint VBA: Best way to push selected image to slide background?

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.
