Goodwill Community Foundation creating
opportunities for a better life I'm
almost finished with this presentation I
typed in everything I need to share
about the company's new Wellness Program
but I like to add some pictures to make
my slides look a little more interesting
it's easy to insert a picture using the
placeholders on your slides all you have
to do is click the icon but there are
actually a few ways to add an image even
if your slide doesn't have a placeholder
like this it all starts with the insert
tab I already know what picture I want
to use for this slide and I have it
saved to my computer that means I can
use the pictures command to locate the
image
and insert it
the picture will appear on the slide to
move this picture while it's still
selected I'm just going to click and
drag where we have plenty of room over
here now let's take a look at the next
slide I don't really have an image in
mind for this part of the presentation
but PowerPoint does have some built-in
options we can use just go back to the
insert tab and click the online pictures
command from here you can use Bing to
search the web for images you can also
access pictures from your onedrive
account if you have any stored there I'm
going to try a web search just type your
search term into the box then press
ENTER on your keyboard
by default Bing only shows images that
are licensed under Creative Commons
which means it's generally okay to use
them in your projects just to be sure
though you should check the images
website to make sure there aren't any
restrictions just follow the link you
see here
this one looks good to insert it I'm
going to click the thumbnail then the
insert button and the image will appear
on the slide this picture is a little
big but that's an easy fix to change the
size of an image all you have to do is
click and drag the sizing handles here
I'd recommend using the ones in the
corners to make sure your image stays in
proportion I'm also going to move it
just a bit and to make it look a little
neater I'm going to use the rotation
handle at the top to rotate it
there we go that looks great on my next
slide the picture I want to add is a bit
more unique I'm going to use a screen
shot a screen shot is an image of
whatever is currently displayed on your
screen for example I found this website
that can be used to track your health
goals and I'd like to include a picture
of that in the presentation let's go
back to PowerPoint and then insert
screenshot to take a look at our options
I have two different windows open right
now including an Excel spreadsheet and
the website I want to capture just click
the window you want to take a screenshot
of and now we have a picture of the
window on this slide this isn't exactly
what I wanted though this screenshot
includes other parts of my browser like
the navigation buttons on the status bar
I'd like to see if we can take a picture
of just the health tracker in the middle
first I'm going to delete this image by
selecting it and pressing backspace or
delete on my keyboard
now I'll go to insert screenshot and
this time I'll select screen flipping
this will let us capture part of the
page instead of the entire window and
we'll use the same technique that we use
to draw text boxes just click and drag
to draw a box around the part of the
image you want to capture the screen
clipping will appear on the slide resize
and reposition the picture if you need
to and there we go whether you're
working with photos that are already on
your computer photos from the web or
even a simple screenshot the right
pictures can really help to make your
presentations a lot more interesting
