Insert a picture in PowerPoint🇸🇱

Depending on which version of PowerPoint you're using, you can insert pictures, photos, clip art, or other images to your slide show from your computer or from the Internet.

You can add single or multiple images onto a slide, the slide master, or to the background.

Insert a picture from your computer on your slide

1. Click where you want to insert the picture on the slide.

2. On the Insert tab, in the Images group, click Pictures.

   

3. In the dialog box that opens, browse to the picture that you want to insert, click that picture, and then click Insert.

   Tip: If you want to insert multiple pictures at the same time, press and hold the Ctrl key while you select all the pictures you want to insert.

Insert a picture from the web on your slide

1. Click where you want to insert the picture on the slide.

2. On the Insert tab, in the Images group, click Online Pictures.

   

3. (PowerPoint 2013) In the Bing Image Search box, type what you are searching for, and press Enter.

   Or

   (Newer versions) Ensure Bing is showing on the left in the drop-down list of sources to search. In the box, type what you are searching for, and press Enter.

   Use the Size, Type, Color, Layout, and licensing filters to adjust the results according to your preferences.

4. Click the picture you want to insert, and click Insert.

   Tip: After you insert a picture, you can change its size and position. To do so, right-click the picture, and click Format Picture. You can then use the Format Picture tools that are on the right of your slide.

Insert clip art

Unlike some earlier versions of PowerPoint, PowerPoint 2013 and newer versions don't have a clip art gallery. Instead, use Insert > Online Pictures to find and insert clip art using the Bing search tool.

For example, after you select Online Pictures, you might search for horse clip art and see a variety of images under a Creative Commons license.

Font Management in Powerpoint🇸🇱

Managing the fonts in PowerPoint is vital to designing an impressive slideshow. PowerPoint offers extensive font management features to cover various aspects of fonts. The font management can be accessed from the Home ribbon in the Font group.

You can also access font management features by selecting a text box, right-clicking and selecting Font.

This opens up the Font dialog which contains all the font management features available under the font section in the Home ribbon.

The table below describes various font management features available in PowerPoint.

Copy and paste in PowerPoint🇸🇱

Copying and pasting in PowerPoint for the web differs from copying and pasting in the PowerPoint desktop application because of certain web browser limitations.

Copy and paste pictures

You can copy and paste pictures from one slide to another in the same presentation or another presentation. You can also copy a picture from another app, such as Word for the web, and then paste it in PowerPoint for the web.

1. Select the image you want to copy, and then on the Home tab, select the Clipboard button  and then select Copy.

   

2. Click where you want to insert the text, and on the Home tab, select the Clipboard button  and then select Paste.

   If you're prompted for access to the Clipboard, click Allow Access.

You can also copy pictures from web sites and paste them to your slides as long as you have a license for the image:

• Right-click the image on the web site and select the Copy command, then switch to PowerPoint for the web to paste the image on your slide.

PowerPoint for the web doesn’t support pasting pictures that are copied from Outlook. If there’s a picture in Outlook that you want to use in PowerPoint for the web, save the picture to your computer, then go to Insert > Pictures in PowerPoint for the web.

   Currently, Paste Text Only is only available in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer.  And for Chrome, you need an Office extension to use this command in PowerPoint for the web.

3. If the slide or slides you copied come from a different presentation and you want to keep their original formatting, Click the (Ctrl) button that pops up at the bottom-right corner of the pasted slide, and select Keep Source Formatting.

   

   When you're copying-and-pasting slides within the same presentation, Keep Source Formatting currently isn't supported.

Introduction to PowerPoint🇸🇱

PowerPoint is an excellent tool for presentations of any kind, either in the classroom or at a conference. A PowerPoint presentation is made up of a series of slides that can be projected (displayed electronically) or printed in a variety of handout formats. 

PowerPoint can be used for making conference posters — and many people do use it successfully — but we consider Adobe Illustrator a superior tool for this purpose as it is designed for creating high-quality print documents, whereas PowerPoint is designed for viewing on a computer or as a projected image.

Inserting a slide

When you open PowerPoint, a new presentation is created with a Title Slide in place.  To add a new slide, go to the Home Ribbon.

• Click on the icon for new slide to insert a new slide with a duplicate layout as the current one selected in the presentation.
• Click on the text New Slide to select any layout, duplicate from what’s selected, or reuse slides from a different presentation.

The new slide will be added after the currently selected slide.

Move between your slides by clicking on the appropriate slide icon in the left sidebar, or use the double arrows at the bottom of the right scrollbar.

Changing the Slide Layout

You can always change the layout by going to the Home Ribbon and clicking on the Layout icon.  If content is already on the slide, you may need to move things around a little.

Showing and Navigating Your Presentation

To play your presentation, go to the Presentation tab and click "Play from Start" (Keyboard option: hold down Control-Shift and press Enter). Advance through your presentation by pressing the Spacebar or right arrow key on the keyboard. To go back a slide, use either the left or up arrow key on your keyboard. In PowerPoint you can navigate directly to any slide by:

1. Right-click anywhere on the slide, and choose By Title from the shortcut menu.
2. Click on the appropriate slide. If the slide doesn’t have a title, it will say Slide #.

 

Instead of a list, PowerPoint gives you the option to see all of the slides as thumbnails while in the slideshow.

1. Right-click anywhere on the slide, and choose See All Slides from the shortcut menu.
2. Click on the thumbnail of the slide you would like to go to. PowerPoint will automatically restart the presentation from that slide.

 

To exit your presentation (and return to the editing view), press the esc key on the keyboard.

How to open and view a document in Microsoft Word🇸🇱

Microsoft Word is one of the most popular word processing programs used by computer users. Word can open text (.txt) files, rich text format (.rtf) files, XML (.xml) files, web page (.htm or .html) files, and all Word (.doc, .docx, .docm, and more) files.

Double-click file

In some cases, you can double click a file to open it in Microsoft Word. However, the file only opens in Microsoft Word if that file type is associated with Microsoft Word. Word documents, like .doc and .docx files, are associated with Microsoft Word by default. However, web page files, text, and rich text format files are often not associated with Word by default, so double-clicking on these files may open in another program.

1. Right Click the file you want to open.
2. In the pop-up menu, select the Open with option.
