Inserting pictures

To insert 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 is now inserted.

If you want, you can then move or resize the picture:

To move it, click on the picture with the mouse, and then drag it to the desired location (while still holding down the mouse button).

To adjust its size, drag on one of the round handles surrounding the picture.

Options of the dialog box

The options in the above dialog box mean the following:

Save within document

If this option is enabled, Presentations saves a copy of the picture in the document and uses this copy instead of the original.
If it is disabled, Presentations saves only a reference to the original picture file in the document.

Note: Saving pictures within the document may significantly increase the file size of the document.

Copy to document's folder

If this option is enabled, Presentations creates a copy of the picture file in the folder where the document is located and uses this copy instead of the original.
This option is available only if the document has already been saved.
