Now I’m going to show you how to select a Design Template for your entire presentation. Let’s start by inserting another slide with a blank layout. Now, to change the design template, just go up here and select this little arrow on the Slide Layout pane. You’ll see a variety of different task panes you can choose from. We’re going to select “Slide Design – Design Templates”. Now you will see a variety of different design templates that can be applied to the presentation. To browse the different templates, use the scrollbar on the righthand side, like this. Let’s pick this one – it’s very colorful. We’ll click once, and you’ll see that this design template has been applied to all the slides.

Now I’m going to show you how to insert a picture or image into your presentation. To insert a picture, just go to “Insert: Picture” and you’ll see a window that displays different picture types you can insert into your presentation. If you have your own picture that you’ve already prepared to be included in your presentation, select “From File” and then choose the appropriate file location. In this case, I’ve put a picture on the Desktop, over here, and it’s called “Sunset”. There it is. Now all I have to do is click on it two times, and it’s been inserted.

Now that you’ve inserted an image into your presentation, you may want to change its size, shape, or location on the individual slide. To change its size, move the pointer on top of it, click once, and you’ll see these dots along the edge of the picture. These dots are called “Sizing Handles”. To change the size of the image, select one of the corner sizing handles, click and press down on the mouse button and move it to a desired size, and then lift up.

To change the shape of the picture, select one of the other four buttons on the sides of the picture, click and press down on the mouse button, and move it to the desired shape, and lift up when you’re happy with that particular shape.

Now, to move the picture, all you have to do is select within the picture – with the pointer on top of it, here – click down on the mouse button, hold it down, and move the picture around like this. When you’re happy with the location, just lift up.

Another way you can move the picture is by clicking on it like you did before, and then using the direction arrows on your keyboard. Right now, I’m hitting the “up” button and you can see that the picture is moving up, now it’s moving left, and now it’s moving right. The advantage of this is you can be a little more accurate, and it’s easier on your wrist.

One other thing you can do is rotate your picture. You can select this green sizing handle here, click your mouse button and hold it down, and rotate the picture by moving to the right and left, like this. When you’re satisfied with the new position, lift up, and you’ve got a new sized picture.
