Introduction: Inserting images on to PowerPoint slides can enhance the visual appeal of a presentation. Images from various sources can be used on slides, including: 1) clip art from the PowerPoint "Clip Gallery", 2) images copied from the world-wide-web, 3) scanned pictures, or 4) pictures from a digital camera. Adding clip art from the PowerPoint Clip Art Gallery may be one of the easier methods because a clip art "gallery" comes with the PowerPoint software.
