A scanning device is used to transfer contents from paper into an image your computer can read. When you scan content into PowerPoint, Microsoft Clip Organizer opens. Not only does the organizer manage images on your computer, but also lets you scan images directly from Microsoft Office applications. You can choose the device and resolution before the image is scanned. The scanned image is saved to the clip organizer, allowing you to insert it into a PowerPoint slide of your choice.
