I like to add a picture to the slide. So we'll pick on the Insert menu, and we'll pick on pictures. Now this one assumes that the picture is on your computer. Or we can get pictures from online as well. Let's pick on pictures. Now I forget what I have on this particular computer, see if I've, if I have anything.

So, let's say I'll go with now these actually, here's a PC logo that'll work perfectly. And I'll pick an insert. And now there's that picture now That can move that picture around. And then those lines are coming up to help you line it up with other items on the slide. And of course, you can also resize that picture as well, the resizing handles. Now, if you are going to make that picture larger, try to find pictures that are higher resolution, because it will make a difference.

You want to have a high res picture when they're especially larger. But you can see I can move that picture around. Then here's that rotate, so I can rotate the picture, as you can see, right, so a lot of great choices for your pictures. Now we can go a lot further with the pictures. For example, when I pick up the picture, I pick on the Format menu, and then there's many things you can do with your pictures on the Format menu as you can see. Now when I run that slide, that picture should be that I like to move it maybe over here, right in the middle.

Yeah, that line came up and it was right in the middle of the slide. Perfect. Good. Now I'll save you. I'll say slideshow and then from the beginning. Here's that first slide.

I'm going to hit the page down and go to the next slide. And there's the picture. Now I want to show you a special kind of picture that's called an animated GIF. You can find many of these animated GIFs. Online, just go ahead and search for the word animated GIF and gives us both gi F. And then maybe you type in the topic of what you're looking for. So if I said, animated GIF, business and search for that on Google, you'd probably find that a lot of this.

I have one on my computer. So I'll say insert, picture. Now here's here's this one that's called headbanger. And I'm going to pick up the insert. And right now it looks normal, right? But I'm going to go and expand that with the sizing handle.

When you put it on the slideshow, at first it looks normal. But if that is an animated GIF, the animation will happen when we run the slideshow. hoping the slideshow and yeah, and I'll say from the current slide, and notice how it actually is a headbanger. I'm sure we've all felt like that, using our computers, you know, but there that is called an animated GIF. And when it is an animated GIF, PowerPoint will show the animation when you run your actual presentation. So that was interesting.

Let's try another one. I'm going to delete that one. In this case, I'll click on Insert, picture. Here's another one I have on my computer. You can see it has a G if extension. And you can find a lot of these on the internet.

If you just do a search, I know this one is going to be animated as well click on Insert. And of course, I can resize that or moving around this slide. When I run my show, I'll click on slideshow from the current slide. You can see that one is animated. Hopefully, after you watch This presentation, your PowerPoint skills will increase and that'll get you better at your job and then I'll get more cash in hand. Alright, so anyway, you can see the cash is flipping.

It's called an animated GIF. So anyway, I want to show you how to add pictures to your slides.
