Introduction

Why are pictures so often used in presentations? They can convey a large amount of information more quickly than the written word. They can also give the presentation a professional look by adding logos and hallmarks. You can use Impress to create a presentation consisting only of pictures, such as a slideshow of holiday snapshots to share with friends.

This chapter describes how to insert and format pictures.
