00:00:07.810 --> 00:00:12.520
I'm almost finished with this
presentation. I've typed in everything I need

00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:16.480
to share about the company's new
wellness program but I'd like to have

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.570
some pictures to make my slides look a
little more interesting.

00:00:20.570 --> 00:00:24.880
It's easy to insert a picture using the
placeholders on your slides.

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:27.380
All you have to do is click the icon.

00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:33.980
But they're actually a few ways to add an image even appear slide doesn't have a placeholder like this

00:00:33.980 --> 00:00:36.650
It all starts with the Insert tab.

00:00:36.650 --> 00:00:42.010
I already know what picture I want to
use for this side and I have it saved to my computer.

00:00:42.010 --> 00:00:48.320
That means I can use the pictures command to locate the image

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.280
And insert it.

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.140
The picture will appear on the slide.

00:00:54.150 --> 00:00:58.450
To move this picture while it's still selected, I'm just going to click and drag

00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:01.010
where we have plenty of room over here.

00:01:01.010 --> 00:01:03.450
Now let's take a look at the next slide.

00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:06.780
I don't really have an image in mind for
this part of the presentation but

00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:10.480
PowerPoint does have some built-in
options we can use.

00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:16.400
Just go back to the Insert tab and click the online pictures command.

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.760
From here you can use Bing to search the web for images.

00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:25.800
You can also access pictures from your OneDrive account if you you have any stored there.

00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:28.200
I'm going to try a web search.

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:33.610
Just type your search them into the box
then press Enter on your keyboard.

00:01:33.610 --> 00:01:37.680
By default, Bing only shows images that
are licensed under Creative Commons,

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.740
which means it's generally OK to use
them in your projects.

00:01:41.740 --> 00:01:46.400
Just to be sure though, you should check the image's website to make sure there aren't any restrictions.

00:01:46.410 --> 00:01:51.650
just follow the link you see here.

00:01:54.730 --> 00:02:02.050
This one looks good. To insert it I'm
going to click the thumbnail, and then the Insert button,

00:02:02.050 --> 00:02:04.590
and the image will appear on the side

00:02:04.590 --> 00:02:07.930
This picture is a little big, but that's
an easy fix.

00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:13.720
To change the size of an, image all you have to do is click and drag the sizing handles here.

00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:19.440
I'd recommend using the ones in the corners to make sure your image stays in proportion

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:22.230
I'm also going to move it just a bit.

00:02:22.230 --> 00:02:29.230
And to make it look a little neater I'm
going to use the rotation handle at the top to rotate it

00:02:31.350 --> 00:02:33.830
There we go, that looks great!

00:02:33.830 --> 00:02:39.359
On my next slide, the picture I want to add is a bit more unique: I'm going to use a screenshot.

00:02:39.359 --> 00:02:45.299
A screenshot is an image of whatever is
currently displayed on your screen.

00:02:45.299 --> 00:02:49.849
For example, I found this website that can be used to track your health goals

00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:53.150
and I'd like to include a picture of that in the presentation.

00:02:53.150 --> 00:02:55.920
Let's go back to PowerPoint

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:01.480
and then Insert>Screenshot to take a
look at our options.

00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:08.440
I have two different windows open right now including an Excel spreadsheet and the website I want to capture.

00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:11.640
Just click the window you want to take a
screenshot of

00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:15.600
and now we have a picture of the window on this slide.

00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:20.100
This isn't exactly what I wanted though... this screenshot includes other parts of my

00:03:20.100 --> 00:03:23.870
browser, like the navigation buttons and the status bar.

00:03:23.870 --> 00:03:28.250
I'd like to see if we can take a picture
of just the health tracker in the middle.

00:03:28.250 --> 00:03:33.200
First, I'm going to delete this image by
selecting it and pressing Backspace or

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:35.930
Delete on my keyboard.

00:03:35.930 --> 00:03:42.210
Now go to Insert>Screenshot and this
time we'll select Screen Clipping.

00:03:42.210 --> 00:03:46.390
This will let us capture a part of the page
instead of the entire window.

00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:50.660
And we'll use the same technique that we use to draw text boxes.

00:03:50.660 --> 00:03:56.860
Just click and drag to draw a box around the part of the image you want to capture

00:03:56.860 --> 00:03:59.260
the screen clipping will appear on the
slide .

00:03:59.260 --> 00:04:02.920
Resize and re-position the picture if you need to

00:04:02.920 --> 00:04:05.010
and there we go!

00:04:05.010 --> 00:04:09.180
Whether you're working with pictures that
are already on your computer,

00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:11.880
photos from the web, or even a simple screenshot

00:04:11.880 --> 00:04:17.020
the right pictures can really help to make your presentations a lot more interesting!
