To choose an image pattern

1. Select an object.

2. Click the Format Tool in the toolbox.

3. Click the Image Interior Fill button in the ribbon, or the Image Line Fill button . The Object Format dialog box opens with the image fill options displayed.

4. Select a category from the drop-down list box.

5. Click a pattern to select it.

6. Click Apply. The object redraws with the new pattern.

As a shortcut, double-click an image pattern instead of choosing the pattern and then clicking Apply. Plotters and many film recorders do not support bitmap patterns or opaque backgrounds.
