Inserting Objects

Including supplementary items like images, data tables, flash animations, or movie clips can enhance your PowerPoint presentation by allowing you to present information in different ways. Adding images or flash animations, for instance, can help you communicate certain points visually.

Insert Excel worksheets or tables into a slide using Paste or Paste Special commands. You can insert images into your presentation using the paste command as well.
Insert most other objects by using the Insert feature, which can usually be found in a menu or tab at the top of the PowerPoint screen.
