There's a chart on a web site that I want to put into my PowerPoint presentation. How do I do this?

Aside from any copyright issues that you may encounter, it's fairly easy to insert an image on the Web into a PowerPoint or Word file:

1. Right-click (or control-click on the Mac) on the picture that you want.
2. Select Save File As... from the popup menu. Save this file to a place you'll be able to find on your hard drive -- like your Downloads or My Documents folder.

Once the file is saved to your computer:

1. Go into PowerPoint or Word.
2. Select Insert, then Picture.
3. Select From File. The picture will be inserted at its actual size right into your document.

Be sure to cite the appropriate source of the picture when you do this!
