Adding Pictures

Pictures are added in almost the same way as text is added. Go to the Insert Menu and choose the type of picture that you want to add.

You can choose to add Clip Art by clicking on it in the Menu. PowerPoint includes a great deal of clip art. When you first choose Clip Art the program will take time to install it. There are TONS of pictures to choose from. You can also go out to the Internet. If you find a picture that you like (that you know is NOT copyrighted!) You can click on it with the Right Mouse Button. A window will come up. Choose SAVE AS. You will have to choose where you want the picture to go and name it. When you click OK a copy of that picture is put into your computer.

You can import that clip art into the list that is already provided by PowerPoint.

In the Clip Art Window choose Import Clip. In the next window that comes up find the file that you saved and choose it. You will be asked to type a description of the picture and allowed to add other information about it. When you click OK a small representation of it will be included in your clip art window permanently. In order to find it just type the name of the file into the search window and it will appear!
