Working with Pictures

If you have taken photos yourself or somebody has provided photos, you will find that they can add to your presentation’s impact. Perhaps you have a photo of your newest product for a sales presentation, or a photo of your soccer team in action for a school sports presentation. Inserting a photo onto a slide is easy to do. Once a picture is inserted, you can also crop it to trim out any unwanted portions using the Crop tool.

Insert a Picture

  1. Display a slide with a layout that contains a content placeholder.

  2. Click the Insert Picture From File icon.

  3. Locate the picture file you want to insert.

  4. Click the Open button.

    If you just want a smaller picture, rather than removing some of the picture by cropping, you can simply resize it. To resize a picture select it, and then click on any of the surrounding handles that appear and drag in or out.

  4. Click on any line and drag inward to crop the picture. Continue cropping from various sides until the picture appears as you wish.

  5. Press the Esc key or click anywhere outside of the picture to turn off the cropping tool.

If you crop too much from your picture you can use the cropping tool to drag outward again, restoring the portion you cropped. You can even do this after deactivating the cropping session where you first trimmed the picture. As soon as you save the file, though, this cropping in reverse method will not work to restore your picture.
