RE: Slide Shows

Hi Maria

Thank you for your question.

To insert a picture from your computer into a presentation, go to the Insert ribbon and click the Picture button, then navigate to and select the picture you wish to insert. Then click OK.

To insert SmartArt diagrams, go to the Insert ribbon and click the SmartArt button, choose your SmartArt diagram and click OK.

You can also insert charts from the Insert ribbon.

You can insert several types of graphics by going to the Insert ribbon, Illustrations group.

Use Picture to insert a picture from your computer.
Use SmartArt to create a diagram
Use Charts to create a chart.

Powerpoint tip:

Reduce PowerPoint file sizes

In PowerPoint, images often take up a lot of space which can lead to difficulties when it comes to emailing files. Luckily PowerPoint does contain some tools to help deal with this issue.

1. Disable the Fast Save feature - so that any changes you make will be immediately reflected in the file size. Go to Tools > Options > Save and deselect 'Allow fast saves'.

2. PowerPoint has an inbuilt compression tool, which is located on the Picture Toolbar.

If the Picture toolbar is not visible on your screen, go to View > Toolbars > Picture.

To compress or reduce the size of a picture, select the picture then click the Compress Pictures button on the Picture Toolbar. You can also right-click on a picture to access the option to compress it.
