Add an Illustration to a Slide 

Introduction:

Slide shows are meant to be visual, and part of their appeal is graphics-whether it's clip art, a picture you create from a drawing program, or a photo found on the Internet. Illustrations, or graphics, can really spruce up your slides. For that reason, PowerPoint's templates and presentations created with AutoContent Wizard have areas on the slides already designated for graphic elements.

Step 1: Select a Graphic Placeholder

If your slide already has a placeholder for a graphic, double-click the placeholder to open the Clip Gallery (skip to step 3). Graphic place holder: Thumbnail
