How to Insert Clipart in Powerpoint

When you create a PowerPoint presentation, there are many things you can add to your slides to make them more visually appealing. For example, you can change the background of a slide or you can insert clip art. If you want to insert clip art on your PowerPoint slide, it takes only a few clicks of the mouse to do so.

Instructions

1. Open PowerPoint and select the slide you want to insert clip art into.

2. Click the "Insert" tab located in the PowerPoint ribbon at the top of the page. You can insert many items on a presentation here, including sound clips, word art, and clip art.

3. Look to the "Illustrations" section of the ribbon and click the "Clip Art" button. The "Clip Art" dialog box will open.

4. Enter keywords for the type of clip art you want to insert in the box under "Search for."

5. Choose where you want to search for the clip art by clicking the arrow next to the "Search in" box and selecting one of the options. For example, you can click "Web Collections" to search for clip art in Microsoft's online collection.

6. Click the arrow next to "Results should be" to specify which media types you want to view in your search. If you want to view only clip art images, click "Clip Art."

7. Click "Go" to begin the search. The results will appear in the "Clip Art" dialog box.

8. Double-click one of the clip art results to insert it on your PowerPoint slide.
