Insert Picture in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows

It is true that both pictures and words are important, and they both play complementary roles. If you had to choose just one of them, then you could use pictures because the presenter can always use words to explain what the picture represents. Presentations, by their very nature, are meant to be visual in nature. Text and speaking are important too, but you can be more effectively heard and remembered if your content includes pictures.

Add and Rename Ribbon Tabs in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows

The Ribbon that you see within the PowerPoint interface was designed to solve a problem. Older versions of PowerPoint that were populated with menus and toolbars ended with so many submenus and toolbars that many users did not know if a specific feature even existed in PowerPoint. Even worse, the toolbars could occupy so much screen real estate that you would be left with a much smaller area for your slide! Enter the Ribbon which did help resolve some of these problems, but it came with a problem of its own: it did not provide customization options when first introduced in PowerPoint 2007. This was quickly rectified in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows.
