Every Picture Tells a Story

PowerPoint is to Pictures as Word is to Text. The images and pictures in a presentation make a connection with the audience. Having an emotional connection is one of the key elements that makes a message--or website--sticky. Technical terms: "Sticky" means that people want to stick around. This lesson introduces the Picture Tools and the options for working with your pictures: Styles, Size, and Adjustments.
