Understanding Clip Art Content
By now you should be comfortable using the Content Layouts in the Slide Layout task pane, so let's
continue our examination of content by using the next two items in the Content panel:
zClip art
zImages from file
Both of these have the same result—an image is placed into the Content placeholder of the slide.
So, why are there two different ways to accomplish this task? (You might well ask that question
about a lot of Office programs.)
Clip art generally refers to stock images. A lot of older clip art is comprised of little drawings and
cartoons. But as graphics programs have evolved, full-color photographs (and even video) have
found their way into clip art collections, many of them sold on CD, DVD, or on the Internet.
Let's see what happens when we click the Clip Art icon in the Content panel of a slide with a
Content layout, as shown in Figure 9.1.

the Clip Art icon on the Content panel opens the Select
Picture panel of the Clip Organizer. You can search or scroll through the
contents to find one you like.
