Hey LW,
It depends on how the background was placed into the existing slideshow. Of course, this should only be done if you have the permission of the copyright holder for that image.
If it is simply a picture behind all the text, just select the picture, save it to your desktop and import it into your new presentation.
If it really is the background of the slide, then right click on the slide (in an empty space) and select save background (again to your desktop, and import it to your new presentation.
If it is from the slide master, navigate to the and repeat the process above.
I would strongly urge you not to use cut&paste for transferring any images into PowerPoint. Most of the time it won't be a problem, but if PowerPoint converts it into an OLE object when pasting, you will get significant file bloat.

copy the background you want and paste directly to slide master (if you want to have thee same background in every page or insert the background from master slide or transfer all your slides using the template (which has the background you want)
