Drag Images from the Williams VR Collection into PowerPoint without Manually Resizing
Utilizing the "content" slide template in PowerPoint, users can now drag images from the Williams VR Collection directly into a PowerPoint slide without the hassle of manually resizing images. Dragging also eliminates the need to save a copy of the image file on your computer, reducing clutter and saving space. Just keep copies of your actual PowerPoint presentations and we will archive and catalogue the images for you in our digital library. See a member of the VRC staff today for more details!

ARTstor Images Now Available for High Resolution Downloading: Use in PowerPoint, Keynote, or Any Presentation Tool You Choose
In response to feedback from the user community, and as a result of the relationships that ARTstor has been building with content owners, ARTstor is now making available approximately 95% of the images in the Digital Library available for larger download at 1024 pixels on the long side. This new download capacity is part of ARTstor’s ongoing effort to facilitate broad access to digital images for teaching and scholarship. Users will be permitted to download these large JPEG images for use in classroom presentation and for other noncommercial, educational uses in the software environment of their choice. Users can also continue to download images at up to 3200 pixels for offline presentations by using the ARTstor Offline Image Viewer (OIV).
