"Hi, my name's Dave Andrews. Today, I'm going to show you how to convert a bitmap file to a PowerPoint file. The way we're going to do this is we're going to have PowerPoint insert the image which will basically embed that bitmap file into a PowerPoint file, and we can show it in presentations. So, let's open up PowerPoint by clicking on our start button. Let's go to all programs. Let's find Microsoft Office, and we want to open up PowerPoint. Now, we have PowerPoint open. To get our bitmap into the PowerPoint you'd want to go to insert. Now, let's just click on picture. Let's find the bitmap file that we want to import, which in my case is on my desktop, and I have a bitmap file here, a 004, which is a picture of the front of my house, so I'm going to click on that to insert it. I'm going to kind of make it to where it fills the entire frame of this slide here. It's going to resize that to where it's larger. So now, that bitmap is inside of this PowerPoint file. To view it as a slide show just click on slide show, and click from beginning. So, there is your bitmap in PowerPoint form. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to convert a bitmap file to a PowerPoint."
