Hello,
You should be able to drag/drop the graphic from your web browser to your
desktop or right-click on the picture and Save Image As.... The format
should be an image format like .jpg, .png, etc. and you can double-check
this by clicking on the image on your desktop and File menu->Get Info and
looking at the Kind. Once you have the picture on your computer you
should
be able to insert it in PowerPoint by going to the Insert menu->Picture...
and then selecting that picture on the desktop. To help text go around
the
image you could try Insert menu->Text Box, select where you want it, type
the text you want, and then do the following with your text selected:
Go to the Formatting Palette->Quick Styles and Effects pane->Text
Transforms
(the last tab)-> and select one that might help go around your object
(like
Circle).
A conform text to object option is a good suggestion for a future Office
release. Also, it's good to know you'd like to copy the image from your
web
browser and paste it into PowerPoint w/o having to first save it to your
computer (note: this also appears in PowerPoint 2004). Thanks for
lettings
us know you'd like to be able to do this tasks, I hope this helps.
