Inserting Objects

Including supplementary items like images, data tables, flash animations, or video can enhance your PowerPoint presentation and help you highlight certain points.

You can insert an Excel worksheet or chart using Paste or Paste Special commands in PowerPoint to insert it into a slide.

• To insert most other objects, click the Insert tab at the top menu of the PowerPoint window and select Object on the far right of the 'Text' category of insertable items. Select the type of object you need to insert.

When to Use This
