What happened to the From Scanner or Camera option for adding pictures to a presentation?

Applies to: Microsoft Office Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007

 

The From Scanner or Camera option for adding pictures to a presentation, photo album, or workbook is not available in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 or Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Instead, you can add pictures from your camera or scanner by downloading the pictures to your computer first, and then copying them from your computer into PowerPoint or Excel.

 Note   For more information about how to copy a picture file from your camera or scanner to your computer, see the documentation included with the camera or scanner.

After you download a picture to your computer, do the following:

  • On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Picture, locate the picture that you want to add to your presentation, photo album, or workbook, and then click Insert.
