How do you import a picture from your hard drive on to your power point presentation?
What is a macro?

RE: Powerpoint

Hi Charlotte, thanks for your query. The quickest way to import a picture from the hard drive into a Powerpoint presentation is to select the Insert tab and then the Picture icon. Navigate to where the picture is saved on your hard drive, select it and then click OK. The picture will then appear on your slide.

A macro is a series of small actions within Word or Powerpoint which have been recorded and bracketed together. Those actions can then be repeated automatically by running the macro. One example would be a Letter macro which displays a form the user fills in with the name of the addressee and the location and which, when the user clicks OK, then fills out the letter with the correct information in the correct place. Macros can be very useful!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

PowerPoint tip:

Controlling alignment and spacing between shapes in PowerPoint

Instead of trying to align shapes exactly or space shapes an even distance apart from each other by dragging them manually on the screen, use features from the Drawing toolbar to align or space shapes perfectly.

Both the Align and the Distribute features can be found by clicking the 'Draw' button on the Drawing toolbar.

The Align feature allows you to align shapes along the top, bottom, left, right or middle edges or positions.

The Distribute feature will automatically adjust the position of shapes to create an even amount of space between them, either vertically or horizontally.

Before using either of these features, you need to select the shapes you wish to align or distribute on your slide. This can be done by clicking on one shape, holding down the Shift key and continuing to hold Shift down while you click the other shapes you want to select.
