PowerPoint 2Adding an Image and AnimationsOn Page one I reviewed basic slide structure and choosing a design. You've seen how to add pages and duplicate pages and have seen how to differenate between a header slide and a body slide.
Adding an Image
In this screen shot you can see all the design elements we have available from the Insert tab. Not only do we have the two bookends of Illustrations to the left and Media to the right, but please note the options available under Text, on Page 1 I reviewed using the preconfigured slide layout options....here is where you can manually add a text box to a slide as well. In this video I review inserting a graphic in a slide Applying Animations
To transform our individual slides to a "Presentation" we need to consider the flow of our story. As I mention on Page 1, you should storyboard your idea and create a logical flow that will have the best impact on your audience. Elements to aid in that flow are Timing or how and when to advance from one slide, or thought, to the next. Another being Flair, apply transitions in a subtle way to create visual appeal.
In the screenshot below you can see some of the transition effects we can employ when we advance from one slide to the next. 
Below is the right side of the tool bar (as of Office 2007 this is called the Ribbon) shown above, here you see that we may apply a sound to accompany our graphic transition, adjust the speed of the transition effect, and we have the option of applying our choices to all the slides in our presentation. The Advance Slide options will be used to set the flow of your presentation. In this video I review adding transition and timing to your slides. 
When you bring it all together, your Presentation will have Impact. Here is our finished product: Go To PowerPoint Page 1
