2.2 Inserting Pictures
Adding pictures can make your presentations more interesting and engaging. You can insert a picture
from a file on your computer onto any slide. PowerPoint even includes tools for finding online
pictures and adding screenshots to your presentation.
2.2.1 To insert a picture from a file:
1. Select the Insert tab, then click the Pictures command in the Images group.
2. A dialog box will appear. Locate and select the desired image file, then click Insert.
3. The picture will appear on the currently selected slide.

You can also click the Pictures command in a placeholder to insert images.
2.3 Shapes and WordArt
There are many features and commands you can use in PowerPoint to create visually appealing
slides. Two of these features are WordArt and shapes. WordArt allows you to create stylized text with
effects such as textures, shadows, and outlines. You can also insert and modify a variety of shapes
like rectangles, circles, lines, arrows, callouts, and stars.
2.3.1 About WordArt
PowerPoint allows you to add effects to the text inside of a text box, which is known as WordArt. For
the most part, the types of effects you can add are the same as the ones you can add to shapes and
text boxes (shadow, bevel, etc.). However, with WordArt, you can also Transform the text to give it a
wavy, slanted, or inflated look.

2.3.1.1 To apply a WordArt style to text:
A WordArt Style will automatically apply several effects to your text at once. You can then refine the
look of your text by adding or modifying text effects.

5. In the WordArt Styles group, you can also use the Text Fill and Text Outline drop-down boxes to
modify the fill and outline color.

2.3.2 Working with shapes and text boxes
PowerPoint's large shape collection allows you to organize and design the image you desire. While
you may not need shapes in every presentation you create, they can add visual appeal.

When you click on a shape or text box, handles will appear that let you manipulate the shape. There
are several types of handles:
Sizing handles: Click, hold, and drag the sizing handles until the shape or text box is the desired size.
You can use the corner sizing handles to change the height and width at the same time.
Yellow handles: Some shapes have one or more yellow handles that can be used to customize the
shape. For example, with arrow shapes you can adjust the width of the line and arrow tip.

Rotation handle: Click, hold, and drag the rotation handle to rotate the shape.
2.3.3 Formatting shapes and text boxes

2.4 Animating Text and Objects
In PowerPoint, you can animate text and objects such as clip art, shapes, and pictures. Animation—
or movement—on the slide can be used to draw the audience's attention to specific content or to
make the slide easier to read.
2.4.1 The four types of animations
There are many different animation effects you can choose from, and they are organized into four
types:
Entrance: These control how the object enters the slide. For example, with the Bounce animation the
object will "fall" onto the slide and then bounce several times.
Emphasis: These animations occur while the object is on the slide, often triggered by a mouse click.
For example, you can set an object to Spin when you click the mouse.
Exit: These control how the object exits the slide. For example, with the Fade animation the object
will simply fade away.
Motion Paths: These are similar to Emphasis effects, except that the object moves within the slide
along a predetermined path, like a circle.

2.4.2 To apply an animation to an object:
1. Select the object you want to animate.
2. On the Animations tab, click the More drop-down arrow in the Animation group.
3. A drop-down menu of animation effects will appear. Select the desired effect.
4. The effect will apply to the object. The object will have a small number next to it to show that it
has an animation. In the Slide pane, a star symbol also will appear next to the slide.

2.4.3 Effect options
Some effects will have options you can change. For example, with the Fly In effect you can control
which direction the object comes from. These options can be accessed from the Effect Options
command in the Animation group.
2.4.4 To remove an animation
1. Select the small number located next to the animated object.
2. Press the Delete key. The animation will be deleted.

2.4.5 To add multiple animations to an object:
If you select a new animation from the the menu in the Animation group, it will replace the object's
current animation. However, you'll sometimes want to place more than one animation on an object,
like an Entrance and an Exit effect. To do this, you'll need to use the Add Animation command, which
will allow you to keep your current animations while adding new ones.
1. Select an object.
2. Click the Animations tab.
3. In the Advanced Animation group, click the Add Animation command to view the available
animations.
4. Select the desired animation effect.
5. If the object has more than one effect, it will have a different number for each effect. The numbers
indicate the order in which the effects will occur.

2.4.6 The Animation Pane
The Animation Pane allows you to view and manage all of the effects that are on the current slide.
You can modify and reorder effects directly from the Animation Pane, which is especially useful when
you have several effects.
2.4.6.1 To open the Animation Pane:
1. From the Animations tab, click the Animation Pane command.
2. The Animation Pane will open on the right side of the window. It will show all of the effects for
the current slide in the order in which they will appear.
3. If you have several animated objects, it may help to rename the objects before reordering them
in the Animation Pane. You can rename them in the Selection Pane. To open the Selection Pane,
click an object, then from the Format tab click Selection Pane. Double-click the name of an object
to rename it.

2.4.6.2 To reorder effects from the Animation Pane:
1. On the Animation Pane, click and drag an effect up or down.
2. The effects will reorder themselves.
2.4.6.3 To change an effect's start option:
By default, an effect starts playing when you click the mouse during a slide show. If you have multiple
effects, you will need to click multiple times to start each effect individually. However, by changing
the start option for each effect, you can have effects that automatically play at the same time or one
after the other.
1. From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear next to the effect.

2. Click the drop-down arrow. You will see three start options:
 Start on Click: This will start the effect when the mouse is clicked.
 Start With Previous: This will start the effect at the same time as the previous effect.
 Start After Previous: This will start the effect when the previous effect ends.
3. Select the desired start option.

2.5 Inserting Audio
PowerPoint allows you to add audio to your presentation. For example, you could add background
music to one slide, a sound effect to another, and even record your own narration or commentary.
You can add sound from a file on your computer or browse PowerPoint's collection of clip art audio.
You can then edit the audio to customize it for your presentation.

2.6 Inserting Video
PowerPoint allows you to insert a video onto a slide and play it during your presentation. This is a
great way to make your presentation more engaging for your audience.
You can even edit the video within PowerPoint and customize its appearance. For example, you can
2.6.1 To insert a video from a file:

2.8 Inserting Charts
A chart is a tool you can use to communicate data graphically. Including a chart in a presentation
allows your audience to see the meaning behind the numbers, which makes it easy to visualize
comparisons and trends.
2.8.1 Inserting charts
PowerPoint uses a spreadsheet as a placeholder for entering chart data, much like Excel. The process
of entering data is fairly simple, but if you are unfamiliar with Excel you might want to review our
Excel 2013 Cell Basics lesson.
