As well as shapes, you can also add pictures to your presentations as well. So you can do that by going to the insert menu. So that's Alt N and you've got P for pictures F for online pictures, SC for screenshots. You've also got photo albums as well. So let's just take a look at a couple of those. Something else to point out though is you can also use the icons in the content box. The bottom left icon is for pictures and the one next to it is for online pictures. So let's just take a quick look at those. So if I click on the pictures, it will take me straight to the pictures folder on my machine and if I click on the image and then press enter the picture will appear on the screen. So there's a picture of me at the Great Pyramid about a year or so ago when I was teaching over in Egypt. Okay, so what can you do with pictures then? Well, pretty much everything you did with shapes. I can duplicate them so I've got more than one copy. I can resize them. Obviously with pictures it's important though that you maintain the aspect ratio 'cause if you're going from the side rather than from one of the corners, then the image will be distorted. Okay, so just bear that in mind. One thing you can't do with pictures that you can do with shapes though, is type over the top of them easily. So if I selected a shape and started typing, text would appear but this time there is no text. Okay, so if you do want to add text to a picture what you would need to do is insert a text box positioned over the top and then put in the text that you want to be able to see. Now obviously with pictures 'cause they have different backgrounds, et cetera you'll often have to change the color of the text with something different. So I think white works pretty well over this particular picture I've got on the screen at the moment. Okay, so there's text box over a picture. So that's just a picture from my library. You also may want to insert pictures from the internet as well. So if you want to do that, instead of saving them first you can actually do it directly in PowerPoint. So just go Alt N and this time I'm going to go to online pictures, which is F. Okay, press F. And what will happen is you'll open up the Bing search engine then which is built into PowerPoint and just simply type in whatever it is you're looking for. So I'm gonna look for a picture of a tiger. Okay, and there you go. A load of tiger pictures appear and just click the one you want, select insert.

Okay, and that image then appears. Again, just like shapes because it's the latest object to appear on the screen, it sits in front of the other picture. So if I want to reorder it I'd have to send it backwards, for instance. Oops, I'll send to back if I want it to go behind something else.
