Introduction
Pictures are often used in presentations as they can convey a large
amount of information more quickly than the written word. They can
also give the presentation a professional look by adding a company
logo. You may also want to use Impress to create a presentation
consisting only of pictures, such as a slideshow of holiday snapshots to
share with friends.
This chapter describes how to insert and format pictures.
Inserting pictures
This section describes several ways to insert a picture from an external
source into the presentation. Once the picture has been inserted, it can
be formatted extensively as explained later in this chapter.
Inserting a picture from a file
Inserting a picture from a file is quick and easy. If the layout of the
slide already contains a placeholder for a graphic, double-click
anywhere in the graphics frame. This opens a dialog box for selecting
the file to be inserted. The detailed procedure is given below.
