Put a picture in background of a table cell in PPT 2013

In PPT you can easily put a picture as the background for a complete table.
See my article Using PPT table with a picture background

But what if you only want to put a picture in a single table cell?

Well that is not difficult at all.

Make your table using whatever style you like.
Insert your picture on the slide.

Select your picture and click the copy button on the Home tab.
Size the cell you want to fill.
Right click in the cell, choose Format Shape

Click Fill and then the radio button Picture or texture fill.

Click the Clipboard button, the picture now fills the cell.

Finally remove the original picture.

You can adjust the width and height of the table respecting the aspect ratio, the picture will stay in the cell.
