Pictures Enhance a Presentation

Content layout slides, such as the slide in this example, have a button shown on the slide to click, to add the type of content you want in that section of the slide.

Content options available are

  • insert table
  • insert chart
  • insert SmartArt graphics
  • insert picture
  • insert clip art
  • insert media clip
To follow this example, you need to click the button to insert a picture. Locate the picture on your computer.

Note - If you have not chosen a Content layout type of slide you can easily insert a picture from the ribbon.

  • Click on the Insert ribbon.
  • Click on the Picture icon
  • Locate the picture on your computer.
