Inserting objects

In order to insert an object (e.g., a picture) into a slide, proceed as follows:

1.Choose the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Picture frame picture_insert_icon.
(To do so, click directly on the icon itself or use the icon's arrow and select the entry From file.)
2.A dialog box appears. Select the desired picture file in it and confirm it.
3.The picture frame is now inserted.
You can then move or resize the frame:
To move it, click on the frame with the mouse, and then drag it to the desired location (while still holding down the mouse button).
To adjust its size, drag one of the round handles surrounding the frame.

The process for inserting other types of objects is similar.

Note: As soon as you have inserted an object, an additional contextual ribbon tab Object (or picture, chart, etc.) will appear on the far right and will enable you to conveniently edit the object properties via the corresponding buttons.

For more information on the different types of objects and how to adjust their properties, see Text frames, etc.
