Introduction

Pictures are often used in presentations as they can convey quickly a

large amount of information. When wisely used, they can also give the

presentation a professional look. Some presentations may require each

slide to be marked with 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 (see Figure 55),

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.
