Importing slides from the AGA slide series CD-ROM into PowerPoint®

Before importing images you must have:

  • The file import filter for Windows Pic Images (file extension '.pic' installed with PowerPoint® on your computer. All required import filters are included with PowerPoint installation disks. Please refer to your PowerPoint® documentation for details.
  • Have a list of the Unit number(s) and Slide number(s) from the CTP CD-ROM, which you wish to import.


To import image files into PowerPoint®:

  • Launch PowerPoint® and open a blank presentation
  • From the INSERT menu in the PowerPoint® menu bar select the PICTURE menu option
  • The INSERT PICTURE dialog box in PowerPoint will appear. In the FILES OF TYPE drop down menu (lower left corner of the dialog box) select the ALL FILES option
  • Navigate to the CTP CD-ROM and select the <Drive Letter>\CTP\PICfolder (this folder contains all images in the CD, stored as Macintosh and Windows readable Pic file formats)
  • Viewing the contents of this folder, select the unit number which contains the image(s) you wish to import (its extension will be '.pic')
  • Once in the folder, select the slide number you wish to import as a PowerPoint® image.
  • Double-click on the desired slide number.
  • The file will be imported as a graphic file into the PowerPoint® presentation you selected.

Note: Importing into other programs, including word processing and page layout applications is identical in this process, but will vary in specific menu commands required.
