Skill Practice: Insert a scanned image on to a PowerPoint Slide

Step 1: Open . On your computer screen, display the slide that you want to add a picture to.

Step 2: Set up the image you want to scan in the scanning device.

Step 3: Go to Insert > Picture > From Scanner or Camera. The scanner should now be activated. If not, a window will appear indicating the scanner is not ready.

Step 4: If you want to use the default settings for scanning the image, click "Web Quality" (if you are going to show your presentation on the screen) or Print Quality (if you are going to print your presentation). If you want to customize any settings before you scan the picture, click "Custom Insert" and follow the scanner instructions that appear.

Step 5: Click "Insert" to scan your picture.

Step 6: Once the image is displayed on your slide, left click on it. The picture toolbar and image "sizing handles" will appear . Use the picture toolbar to make desired adjustments to image appearance, such as cropping and brightness. Use the image sizing handles to adjust image size and slide position.

* Note * - The Insert button might be unavailable with some scanners because the scanner software doesn't support the automatic scan. Use the Custom Insert button instead.
