SF- Study Guide: Presentations - Adding Graphics to a Slide
One of the best methods to improve the effectiveness of your presentation is to add graphic images. Graphic images basically are available in two forms, clip art and images from files.
Let’s add a graphic image to the title slide using clip art. Click in a blank area of slide one to ensure that nothing is currently selected on the slide. Select Picture from the Insert menu. Then select clip art on the pop-up menu. This will display the clip art window. Type ‘travel’ in the 'Search for clips' space and press the Enter key. It should look similar to the image below.
The specific clip art images and the number of images will vary depending on how the software was installed on your computer. Click on the first image and then click the Insert Image button. You may have to close the clip art window to return to slide one.
The image appears in the center of the screen. Place your mouse pointer in the center of the image and drag it to the upper right corner of the screen. You can resize the image by dragging the resize handles that surround the image when it is selected. Adjust the image so that it fits nicely in the corner.
Your slide should look similar to the sample. Have you been remembering to save your work?
You may want to use photographs or professional images in your presentation. Move to slide two. Lets add two pictures to this slide. Once again, select Picture from the Insert menu, but this time select From File. The insert window should appear and will look similar to the sample below.
Change Look in: to the location your images are stored and select etower. Click the Insert button. You can now adjust the location and size of the image as you did before. Repeat the process again and select the image russia1 this time. Arrange the two images to achieve a pleasing look to slide two.
Now add two of the pictures from files to slide three. Arrange and resize them as needed.
