the presentation I'm working on is
almost done I've typed up everything I
need to share about the company's new
Wellness Program
the only thing missing pictures it's
easy to insert a picture from a file or
add clipart
using the placeholders on your slides
all you have to do is click the icon
there are lots of ways to add an image
even if your slide doesn't have a
placeholder it all starts with the
insert tab I already know which picture
I want to use here luckily I have the
file saved to my computer which means I
can use the picture command to navigate
to where it's being kept and then insert
it to move the picture while it's still
selected I'm just going to click hold
and drag it to the right where we have
plenty of space very good now let me
take a look at the next slide we'll also
go back to the insert tab I don't have
an image for this part of my
presentation but I'll bet I can find
something in clipart PowerPoint has a
huge library of pictures graphics and
other media that you can search using
keywords I'd like to see what we can
find related to the word nutrition and I
want my results to include both
illustrations and photographs click go
to search now we have tons of pictures
to choose from I think I'll click this
one to add it to my slide
let's close the clipart window so we can
take a good look the picture is a little
big but that's an easy fix you can
resize any image while it's selected
using the sizing handles here in the
corners just click hold and drag then
release the mouse to make the image
larger or smaller I'm also going to
reposition it here on my next slide the
picture I want to add is a little more
unique not a picture file not clipart
but a screenshot a screenshot is an
image that captures what's being
displayed on your screen
for example the website I'd like to
share that can be used to track your
health goals let's go back to PowerPoint
then in
cert screenshot to take a look at our
options I have two windows open right
now including an Excel spreadsheet and
the website I want to capture just click
to take a screenshot of the window now
we have an image of the page that even
includes parts of my browser like
navigation and the status bar I'd like
to see if we can take a picture of just
the calorie counter in the middle so I'm
going to delete this image then go back
to insert screenshot and this time
screen clipping this will let us capture
part of the page instead of the entire
window using the same technique we use
to draw text boxes just click hold and
drag to draw box around the image you
want to capture then let go resize and
reposition the picture if you need to I
think the right imagery whether it's a
picture from a file clipart or a
screenshot can really help your audience
get into the presentation PowerPoint
gives you so many options like what you
just saw greatest add a comment
