How do I put a picture into a place holder
RE: Pictures
Hi Teresa, Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum; in answer to your question;
Inserting Images and Movies into a presentation; Lets look at Movies first; On the Insert menu choose Movies and Sounds, click Movie or Sound from file, navigate to the folder which holds the item you want to include, double-click it to insert it into your presentation, you can then use the custom animation options to determine the way you wish it to be played.
Graphics: On the Insert menu choose Picture and then from the options choose the location of the graphic you wish to insert, double-click it to insert it into your presentation.
However: I tend to use this method when placing an image on my slide; Open the slide on to which you wish to place your image, using the rectangle tool, or any other drawing shape create a shape (drag to draw) on your slide of the size you wish your image to be, Right click on this shape, then go to the Format AutoShape option and click, Click the dropdown on the Fill Color, and from the options choose Fill Effects, Click the tab for Picture, Click Select Picture and navigate to the folder where you have placed your image, Select the image and click Insert, the image will fill the drawn shape and you can then complete the resize and hide the borders etc etc.
I hope that helped, if so please click the resolved link. Regards Pete.
