Inserting clip art

How do you save clip art from the internet to your desk-top to use in presentations.

RE: Inserting clip art

Hi Mark,

Clip art is usually a small file because it's stored vector based. You can download clip art files from Microsoft's Office site, and probably many other web sites out there (just do a search for 'free clipart').

If you want a particular image that isn't in clipart format, you can take a screen shot (PrintScreen keyboard button for Windows), paste your entire screen shot into a graphics program (even MS Paint) and then crop the image to the area you require.

That's is HOW you do it. Whether you SHOULD remains with you (for copyright purposes ie. we hold no responsibility!)

You can then save the graphic as a JPG or BMP to a folder of your choice, and then import the file into Powerpoint using Insert -> Picture.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Rich

PowerPoint tip:

Another way to reduce PowerPoint file sizes

A very quick and easy way to reduce the size of a PowerPoint file (particularly if it contains many images and/or objects) make the first slide in the presentation a blank slide (using slide layouts).

Why does this work? Because when you go to open the file through PowerPoint (File - Open or by using the Open button), the preview image that PowerPoint sees of that file is of a blank slide so the overall file size is reduced.
