Chapter 9. Putting Images and Documents on Slides


PowerPoint would have disappeared long ago if all you could do with it was slap bullet points on a screen. Drawings, photographs, and other pictures add meaning, sophistication, and polish to your slideshow. They also serve as powerful visual cues to help your audience understand a point, or recall something you've previously said. They can also tie a slideshow together (when you use similar design elements on each slide), and even help with branding (think logo in the corner of every single slide).

It's not surprising, then, that PowerPoint lets you add all manner of visual elements to your slides. You can use everything from simple graphics you draw right on a slide, to photographs and images created in another program, to the free clip art that came with PowerPoint. Once you've got the graphic on your slide, you can move it around and even modify its appearance.

And if still pictures aren't enough, you can put charts , spreadsheets, animated clips, and documents created in another programsuch as Excel or Wordright on your slide and edit them live in PowerPoint.
