Step-by-Step: Insert a Clip Art Picture
Before you begin these steps, make sure that your computer is on. Log on, if necessary. START PowerPoint, if the program is not already running. Locate and OPEN the Exhibits presentation and save it as Exhibits Final. Go to slide 4 and click the Clip Art icon in the empty content placeholder. The Clip Art task pane opens. Select any existing text in the Search for box and press Delete to remove it. Type gears in the Search For box. Another Way: To insert clip art on a slide that does not have a content placeholder, click the Clip Art button on the Insert tab. Take Note: The Clip Art task pane may show the keyword(s) used in the most recent search for clip art.

Click the Results should be drop-down arrow, and remove checkmarks from all options except Photographs, as shown at right. Click the Go button near the top of the task pane. PowerPoint searches for clip art photographs that match the keyword and displays them in the task pane.

Click the picture of gears shown at right, or one similar to it. The picture is inserted in the content placeholder. (The picture may not take up the entire placeholder.) Click the Close button in the Clip Art task pane to close the pane. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise. Blue tone keyboard: © ooyoo /iStockphoto

If you have an Internet connection, PowerPoint will search online graphic files (via Office.com) and display them in the task pane. You can also go directly to the Office Online clip art website by clicking the Find more at Office.com link at the bottom of the Clip Art task pane. You can use the Clip Art task pane to search for photographs as well as clip art graphics. The Clip Art task pane also allows you to search for movies and sound files. When you insert clip art by using the Clip Art icon in a content placeholder to open the Clip Art task pane, PowerPoint will try to fit the graphic you select into the content placeholder. If you insert a graphic on a slide that doesn’t have a placeholder, it will generally appear in the center of the slide. If you decide you don’t like a picture you have inserted, you can easily delete it. Click the picture to select it and then press Delete to remove it from the slide. Take Note: If you find a clip you like on Office Online, you can download it to your computer by right-clicking it and choosing Make Available Offline. Office will store the clip on your hard disk for future use.

Step-by-Step: Insert a Picture from a File
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 3 and on the Insert tab, click the Picture button. The Insert Picture dialog box opens. Navigate to the location of the data files for this lesson, click Astronomy.jpg, as shown above, and then click Insert. The dialog box may look different than the one shown here, depending on your Windows version and the other files in the folder. The picture appears on the slide. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise.

Step-by-Step: Insert a Picture from a File
PowerPoint supports a variety of picture file formats, including GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and WMF. Be aware that graphic formats differ in how they store graphic information, so some formats create larger files than others. If you take your own pictures using a digital camera, you do not have to worry about copyright issues, but you should pay attention to copyright permissions for pictures you locate from other sources. If you are going to use the picture commercially, you need to contact the copyright holder, if there is one, and ask for specific permission to reuse the picture. Take Note: U.S. government sites such as NASA, the source of the picture you inserted in the previous exercise, make images available without requiring copyright permission.

Step-by-Step: Use the Ruler, Gridlines, and Guides
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 3. On the View tab, click Ruler in the Show/Hide group if this option is not already selected. The vertical and horizontal rulers appear in the Slide pane. Click to mark the Gridlines check box. A grid of regularly spaced dots overlays the slide, as shown on the next slide. Another Way: Right-click a slide outside of any placeholder, and then click Ruler.

Right-click the current slide near the bottom of the slide (outside any placeholder), and then click Grid and Guides. The Grid and Guides dialog box opens, as shown at right. In the Guide Settings area of the dialog box, click to mark the Display drawing guides on screen checkbox, then click OK. The default vertical and horizontal drawing guides display, intersecting at the center of the slide. Another Way: Press Alt+F9 to show or hide the guides.

The guides will be more useful for positioning pictures in this presentation, so you can turn off the gridlines: click the View tab, and click Gridlines in the Show/Hide group to remove the checkmark and hide the gridlines. Click the text placeholder on slide 3 to activate it. You will use the placeholder’s selection border to help you position guides. Click the vertical guide above the slide title. You should see a ScreenTip that shows the current position of the guide—0.0, indicating the guide is at the 0 inch mark on the horizontal ruler.

Click and drag the guide to the left until it aligns on the left border of the text placeholder. The ScreenTip should read 4.50 with a left-pointing arrow. Release the mouse to drop the guide. Click the horizontal guide to the right of the planet picture and drag upward until the ScreenTip reads 1.67 with an upward- pointing arrow. Drop the guide. It should align with the capital letters in the text placeholder. Click the vertical guide you positioned near the left edge, hold down Ctrl, and drag a copy of the guide to the right until the ScreenTip reads 4.50 with a right-pointing arrow. Drop the guide by releasing the mouse and then the Ctrl key. Your slide should look like one above. Planets: Photo courtesy of NASA

Go to slide 4, click the gear picture, and drag it until the upper-left corner of the picture snaps to the intersection of the vertical and horizontal guides. Your slide should look like figure at right. Go to slide 5 and drag the picture down and to the left so its upper- right corner snaps to the intersection of the guides.

Go to slide 6 and drag the picture up and to the left to snap to the intersection of the two guides. On the View tab, clear the Guides check box to turn off the guides. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise. By default, objects “snap”—automatically align—to the gridlines even if the gridlines are not currently displayed. This feature can be helpful when you are positioning objects, but it may hinder precise positioning. You can temporarily override the “snapping” by holding down Alt as you drag an object. Or, you can display the Grid and Guides dialog box and deselect the Snap objects to grid check box.

Step-by-Step: Rotate an Object
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 3, and click the picture to select it. Click the Picture Tools Format tab, click Rotate in the Arrange group, and then click Flip Horizontal in the drop-down menu that appears. The picture reverses its orientation so the planet is on the right and its moons are on the left, as shown in the figure above. Another Way: Click the Arrange button on the Home tab, click Rotate, and choose a rotation option. Planets: Photo courtesy of NASA

Drag the picture up into the upper-right corner of the slide, so that the top and right edges of the picture align with the top and right edges of the slide, as shown at right. Go to slide 5 and click the picture to select it. Click the Picture Tools Format tab, click Rotate, and then click Rotate Right 90°. Then repeat that command to rotate the picture another 90 degrees. Planets: Photo courtesy of NASA

SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise. PowerPoint offers some set rotation options, such as rotating right or left 90 degrees. For more control over the rotation, you can drag the green rotation handle above the selected object, or click More Rotation Options on the Rotate button’s menu to open the Size and Position dialog box, where you can type a specific rotation amount.

Step-by-Step: Crop a Picture
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 4 and click the picture to select it. Click the Picture Tools Format tab. Click the Crop button in the Size group. (Click the upper part of the button, not the arrow below it.) The pointer changes to a crop pointer and crop handles appear around the edges of the picture. Click to position the pointer on the top center crop handle and drag downward until the short dotted line on the vertical ruler is on the 1.5 inch mark, as shown on the next slide.

Release the mouse button, and then click the Crop button again to complete the crop.

On the View tab, mark the Guides check box to turn the guides back on. Click and drag the cropped picture back up to the intersection of the two guides. Your slide should look similar to the figure at right. On the View tab, clear the Guides check bot to turn the guides off. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise.

Step-by-Step: Size or Scale an Object
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 3 and click the picture to select it. Click and drag the lower-left corner of the picture diagonally until the short dotted line on the horizontal ruler is at 0 inches, as shown above. (Don’t worry that the slide title is partially covered; you’ll fix this problem in a later exercise.) Go to slide 4 and click the picture to select it. Planets: Photo courtesy of NASA

Right-click the picture, then click Size and Position from the shortcut menu. The Format Picture dialog box opens. Click the Lock aspect ratio check box to deselect this option. You can now specify the height and width independently. In the Size and Rotate area of the dialog box, click the Height up arrow until the height is 4.1 inches. Click the Width up arrow until the width is 4.2 inches. See figure at right. Another Way: You can open the Format Picture dialog box by clicking the dialog box launcher in the Size group on the Picture Tools Format tab. Another Way: You can also specify a percentage of the original dimensions, instead of an exact size. This is called scaling.

Click Close to close the dialog box. Your slide should look similar to the figure at right. Go to slide 5 and click the picture to select it. Click the Picture Tools Format tab, then click the Width down arrow in the Size group until the picture’s width is 4.2 inches. See the figure on the next slide.

Drag the picture to align its upper-right corner with the intersection of the two guides near the right edge of the slide. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise.

You can reset a picture to its original appearance to remove any sizing or format changes you have made to it. To do this, open the Format Picture dialog box and click the Reset button on the page containing the setting to reset. For example, to reset the size, click Size at the left side of the dialog box, and then click Reset. Refer to the figure on slide 34. You can also restore a picture’s original appearance by clicking the Reset Picture button in the Adjust group on the Picture Tools Format tab.

Step-by-Step: Apply a Style to a Picture
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 5 and click the picture to select it if necessary. On the Picture Tools Format tab, click the More button in the Picture Styles group. The Picture Styles gallery appears, as shown at right.

Step-by-Step: Apply a Style to a Picture
Click the Soft Edge Oval style. Your picture should look like the one in the figure at right. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise. If you have a number of pictures in a presentation, be careful not to apply too many different styles to the pictures. Using just one or two styles throughout a presentation makes it seem more unified and consistent. Take Note: The style’s picture borders are black or white by default, but you can apply any color to the border using the Picture Border button.

Step-by-Step: Adjust a Picture’s Brightness And Sharpness
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 6 and click the picture to select it. This picture is a bit dark. Click the Picture Tools Format tab. In the Adjust group, click Corrections. A palette of corrections appears, as at right. Notice that there are two sections: Sharpen and Soften, and Brightness and Contrast. The center selection in each section is the current setting.

In the Brightness and Contrast section, click the Brightness +20% Contrast; 0% (Normal) setting. Click the Corrections button again, reopening the menu. In the Sharpen and Soften section, click Sharpen: 25%. Click the Corrections button again, and click Picture Corrections Options. The Format Picture dialog box opens.

Drag the Soften/Sharpen slider to 30% and drag the Contrast slider to 10%, as shown at right. Click Close to close the dialog box. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise. Another Way: You can use the increment arrow buttons to set the values instead of dragging if you find that easier.

Step-by-Step: Apply Color Adjustments
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 5 and click the picture to select it. Click the Picture Tools Format tab. In the Adjust group, click Color. A palette of color choices appears, as shown at right.

Step-by-Step: Apply Color Adjustments
In the Color Saturation section, click Saturation 66%. Click Color again to reopen the palette, point at More Variations, and in the Standard Colors group, click Light Green. Click Color again to reopen the palette, and click Picture Color Options. The Format Picture dialog box opens. In the Color Tone section, set the Temperature slider to 10,000. See figure at right. Click Close to close the dialog box. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise.

Step-by-Step: Add Picture Effects to a Picture
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 4 and click the picture to select it. Click the Picture Tools Format tab. Click the Picture Effects button, point to Presets in the drop-down menu that appears, and click Preset 5. A preset formatting effect is applied. Click the Picture Effects button, point to Bevel, and click Relaxed Inset. A different bevel is applied. Click the Picture Effects button, point to Glow, and click Periwinkle, 8 point glow, Accent color 5. An 8-point periwinkle blue glow is placed around the picture.

Step-by-Step: Add Picture Effects to a Picture
Click away from the picture to deselect it so you can see it more clearly. The slide should look like the figure at right. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise

Step-by-Step: Add Artistic Effects to a Picture
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 7 and click the picture to select it. Click the Picture Tools Format tab. Click Artistic Effects in the Picture Styles group to open the Artistic Effects gallery, and point to several different settings in the gallery. Observe their effect on the image behind the open palette. Click Paint Strokes. Your slide should look similar to the one above. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise. Blue tone keyboard: © ooyoo /iStockphoto

Step-by-Step: Remove an Image Background
USE the Exhibits Final presentation that is still open from the previous exercise. Go to slide 3 and click the picture to select it. On the Picture Tools Format tab, click Remove Background. The Back- ground Removal tab appears on the Ribbon, and the picture turns purple except for one planet, as shown above. The purple areas are the parts that will be removed. Blue tone keyboard: © ooyoo /iStockphoto; Planets: Photo courtesy of NASA

Zoom in to 100% zoom using the Zoom slider in the bottom right corner of the PowerPoint window, and adjust the display so you can see the photo clearly. Notice that inside the picture is a rectangular border with selection handles. Only content within this rectangle will be kept. Drag the corner selection handles of that rectangle so that the entire picture is inside that area. On the Background Removal tab, click Mark Areas to Keep. Click one of the planets. If the entire planet does not turn back to its original color with a single click, continue clicking different parts of it until the entire planet appears in its original colors. Zoom in if needed to see what you are doing. Troubleshooting: If you make a mistake and click too much, and the whole background turns black, press Ctrl+Z to undo your last action and try again.

Repeat step 6 until only the background is purple, and all planets appear in their original colors. You may need to click and drag the pencil mouse pointer to remove the purple from some areas of the planets. Click Keep Changes in the Close group of the Back- ground Removal tab to finalize the background removal. Now that the background is removed, the slide title is no longer partly obscured. See right. SAVE the presentation. LEAVE the presentation open to use in the next exercise. Planets: Photo courtesy of NASA

The amount of effort required to remove a photo’s background accurately depends on the photo and on the amount of contrast between the background and the foreground. You may need to click several times on different parts of the image to mark them to keep. It’s easy to make a mistake when marking areas for background removal. The Undo command (Ctrl+Z) easily reverses your last action, and can be used when a particular marked area doesn't turn out as you expect. You can also use the Mark Areas to Remove command on the Background Removal tab to mark areas that have erroneously been marked for keeping.
