A. This 1-slide “visual tutorial” is made up
of a number of elements.
B. Note: You may freely use and modify
this and other files in any way.
C. You should know that there are 4
captured images and 7 “text boxes” in
this example. There are also a few
added “objects” that you can draw in
Powerpoint (arrows, circles, rectangles,
and more).
How To “Capture” An Image
Add A Title
A. First, start with a blank slide. Make sure
it is completely blank.
B. In this example, the “orientation” is
“portrait” instead of “landscape”.
C. Insert a “text box” and start typing. In
Powerpoint 2003: Insert > Text Box
D. You can modify the font and alignment
of your text box, To move, click on the
border of the text box; adjust its
placement. Try it!
How To “Capture” An Image
Paste Your Images
A. “Capture” your images and paste them
directly into your slide.
B. In this case, there are 4 captured
images.
C. You can modify the size by selecting an
image and then clicking and “dragging”
on a corner “handle”. Always use a
corner handle; this ensures that any
change in size is proportional.
How To “Capture” An Image
Use Drawing Tools
A. Now, use the drawing tools in
Powerpoint to add some “objects”.
B. In Office 2003, you may need to
“enable” the drawing tools. To do this,
click View => Toolbars => Drawing
C. In this example, there are 2 ovals and 4
arrows.

you put on your slide.
