importing information from the internet

how do I import figures and pictures from the internet

RE: importing information from the internet

A simple way to do this is to copy and paste the image from Internet Explorer into your application.
You could also save the image to your hard drive and then insert it into your application as you would any other image.

Excel has a Web Import feature, which you can find under Data, Import external Data, Web Query. simply navigate to the page you want, highlight the area using the tick box, and import. This is text only though.

PowerPoint tip:

Animating charts imported from Excel

Once you have imported an Excel chart into a Powerpoint slide, it is possible to apply animation to individual components (e.g. each bar) of the chart.

Click on the imported Excel chart, then go to Draw - Ungroup on the Drawing toolbar (usually located at the bottom of the screen).

A message will appear warning that ungrouping will change the chart into a different type of object - click Yes, then go to Draw - Ungroup again.

You should now see the chart has been broken up into all its individual components.

Right-click on a component that you wish to apply animation to; then select Custom animation and apply animation using the task pane on the right of the screen.
