Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//set background Image

//set the slide's shapes,background image and rectangle .
presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendEmbedImage(ShapeType.Rectangle, ImageFile, rect);
//set the shape's solidFillColor
presentation.Slides[0].Shapes[0].Line.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.FloralWhite;
//append new shape
IAutoShape shape = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, new RectangleF(50, 70, 600, 400));
shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Alignment = TextAlignmentType.Left;
shape.Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.None;
shape.TextFrame.Text = "Demo about Alignment";
foreach (TextAlignmentType textAlign in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TextAlignmentType)))
{
//create a text range
TextRange textRange = new TextRange(textAlign.ToString());
//create a new paragraph
TextParagraph paragraph = new TextParagraph();
//apend the text range
paragraph.TextRanges.Append(textRange);
//set the alignment
paragraph.Alignment = textAlign;
//append to shape
shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs.Append(paragraph);
}
//set the font and fill style
foreach (TextParagraph paragraph in shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs)
{
