Step by step

  1. Select the slide that should contain the new object.
  2. Open Insert and choose the picture command. Select an image file you have permission to use and confirm.
  3. Drag a corner handle to resize the image, then move it into position.
  4. To add structured information, choose Table in Insert, set the row and column count, and enter your values.
  5. For a diagram, choose a shape from the Home drawing tools and drag on the slide. Use Text Box when you need a separate text frame.
  6. Select each object to adjust its fill, line, alignment or size with the available contextual tools.
  7. Save the deck and preview the slide to check that text and objects do not overlap.
Before you continue

Use a small table and short labels so the slide remains readable from a distance.

Inserted pictures are content objects; the background decorations of a template are part of its master slide.
