Inserting Images into PowerPoint Presentations

For the Macintosh, save images as indexed color (256 color) images in .tif or .pct formats. For Windows, save images as .tif, .jpg, or .gif files.

1. Open PowerPoint to the presentation you want to insert images into.

2. Navigate to the slide where you want to insert an image

3. From the "Insert" menu choose "Picture" or "Picture/From File..."

4. Find the file with the dialog box, select the file name, and click the "Insert" button.

5. When you click on the image to resize it, handles will appear on the corners of the image. Hold the "Shift" key down while you press your mouse button down over a handle. This will allow you to maintain the height/width proportions as you resize the image. Drag the handle diagonally to enlarge or reduce the image.
