I'm tired of dragging my mouse all over the screen to insert images... I have thousands of images to go. My mouse hand is going to wear out. Surely there's a keyboard shortcut like CTR+SHIFT+I or something?
I've done google searches and powerpoint help searches and I must be blind. I can't find it.
Help please!
Thanks everybody.
Jim
PS I know I can download short-cut program add-ins but presenter (powerpoint?) crashes so much as it is, I'd rather not take chances with another add-in.
You can also import a whole bunch of images in one go on a single slide, and then copy paste them with shortcuts (CTRL-C / CTRL-V) where you need them in your project
Sorry Jim, I was away from my PC when I answered and when I just checked it is actually ALT, N, P on the keyboard in PPT 2010 to insert an image. (That's what I get for trying to answer from my obviously faulty memory!)
Thanks, it doesn't quite work but that's a problem on my end with other program that I think have hijacked that particular key sequence.... I'll see if I can kill it.

There is no keyboard shortcut to insert a picture
Although not a true shortcut you can invoke the menus in PowerPoint via the keyboard and insert a picture by using [ALT], I, P, F
i use this method a lot for Paste Special too [ALT] , E, S

Mike, thanks. They keyboard shortcuts don't work though in Powerpoint 2010 for ALT+I...
as soon as I use that key combo it insert a drawing object (horizontal bar).
I'll just have to download some sort of keystroke recorder. Thanks.

keep press ALT and on other hand push button "I" and then again "I" and then "U" so you will see a pop up to insert the image thanks
