In this scenario, we want our picture alignment to be in relation to the slide. We will align the picture in the center of the slide, both horizontally and vertically.

From the Drawing toolbar choose Draw > Align or Distribute and make sure there is a checkmark beside Relative to Slide. If there is no checkmark, click on the Relative to Slide option and this will place a checkmark beside this option. This checkmark will remain until you choose to remove it at a later time.
