Whether you are using an AutoLayout for the placement of the picture,

or you are just inserting a picture, follow these steps:

1) Select Insert > Picture. (When using an AutoLayout; double-

click in the graphics frame instead.)

2) In the Insert Picture dialog box (Figure 56), browse to the

directory containing the desired picture.

3) Select the file. OOo recognizes a very large number of image

types and, if Preview is selected, will display a reduced copy of

the selected file.

4) Click Open to place the picture on the current (selected) slide.

The picture is now displayed on the slide with green resizing

handles around it.

Figure 56: Inserting a picture from a file

Notice in the Insert picture dialog box (Figure 56) the two options

called Link and Preview. Their position is determined by the

operating system, but they are normally in the bottom part of the

dialog box.

If Preview is checked, and if the selected file is in one of the many

formats that OOo recognizes, a thumbnail of the selected image shows

in a preview area on the right (not shown in Figure 56).
