Goodwill Community Foundation creating
opportunities for a better life 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 and the only things missing are
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 and drag it where we have
plenty of space
now let's take a look at the next slide
I don't have an image for this part of
my presentation but fortunately
PowerPoint gives you access to thousands
of images from other sources online all
you have to do is go back to the insert
tab and click the online pictures
command from here you can search for
stock photos clipart and other graphics
at office.com or you can use Bing to
search the web you can even access
pictures from your SkyDrive account if
you have any stored there I'm going to
try a web search first just type your
search term in the box and press ENTER
on your keyboard by default
Bing only shows images that are licensed
under Creative Commons which means it's
okay to use them in your own projects
just to be safe though you should check
the images website to make sure there
aren't any restrictions just follow the
link you see here let's try the same
search but this time in the office comm
collection
unlike the web search option you're free
to use any of these images any way you
want without having to check the license
they're provided by Microsoft so you
always have access to high-quality
images no matter what kind of image you
need this one looks good to insert it
I'm going to click the thumbnail and
then the insert button
and it will be added to the document the
picture is a little big but that's an
easy fix to change the size of an image
all you need to do is click and drag the
sizing handles here the ones in the
corners will make sure the image stays
in proportion I'm also going to
reposition it here
on my next slide the picture I want to
add is a little more unique I'm going to
use a screen shot a screen shot 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 help track
your health goals let's go back to
PowerPoint and then insert 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 and 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 health
tracker in the middle so I'm going to
delete this image and 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 and drag to draw a
box around the image you want to capture
then let go
resize and reposition the picture if you
need to
the right imagery whether it's a picture
from a file
clip bar or a screen shot can really
help your audience get into the
presentation
