A large majority of the text in this document is simply for filling pace and keeping they layout structure. All text and formatting can be changed to better suit your needs. Again, this is only an example. Inserting images To insert imagery into your presentation go to “Insert” on the menu bar then select picture and from he sub menu select “from file”. Brows to the directory you have your image and click “ok”. Once your image is in you may then resize it to fit your document. To resize the image simply click and drag on any of the four CORNERS. It is important to do this from the corners to prevent the picture from being distorted (squished or flattened out). Both Jpg or tif files will work in a power point document. However a tif file holds more graphical information and will look better. If getting a tiff file proves to be too cumbersome then a jpg file will more than suffice.

To do this go to file on the menu bar, select “save as”. Another window will show up and from the “format” drop down menu, Select either Jpg of Tif.
