Add a picture throughout a presentation

To make a picture appear on multiple slides, add it to the slide master. If you want the picture only on slides with a Title Slide layout, add it to the title master.

1. On the View menu, point to Master, and then click Slide Master.
2. In the thumbnails on the left, click the slide master or title master you want.
3. On the slide master or title master, add the picture.

   How?

   1. Click where you want to insert the picture.

   2. Insert one of the following:

      A picture from a file

      1. On the Drawing toolbar, click Insert Picture From File .
      2. Locate the folder that contains the picture that you want to insert, then click the picture file.
      3. Do one of the following:
         • To embed the picture, click Insert.
         • To link the picture to the picture file on your hard disk, click the arrow next to Insert, and then click Link to File.

      A picture directly from a scanner or digital camera

      For this procedure, make sure your device is TWAIN- or WIA-compatible and is connected to your computer. You should also make sure that you have installed the device software that supports TWAIN or WIA.

      1. Set up the picture in the scanning device.
      2. On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click From Scanner or Camera.
      3. If you have more than one device attached to your computer, under Device select the device you want to use.
      4. Do one of the following:

         If the selected device is a scanner, and you want to use default settings for scanning the image, click Web Quality (if you are going to show your picture on the screen) or Print Quality (if you are going to print your picture), and then click Insert to scan your picture.

         If the selected device is not a scanner (for example, if it's a digital camera) or you want to customize any settings before you scan the picture, click Custom Insert. Follow the instructions that come with the device you're using.

      Note  The Insert button might be unavailable with some scanners because the scanner software doesn't support an automatic scan. Use the Custom Insert button instead.

4. To return to normal view, on the Slide Master View toolbar, click Close Master View.

Notes

• Use the same approach as above to add other items you want on every slide or on multiple slides, including AutoShapes, WordArt, tables, charts, clip art, and diagrams.
• If there is more than one slide master in your presentation, you will need to add the picture to the other masters as well in order for it to appear on all slides.
