Nikki,

Yes it's possible

start powerpoint

click the 'insert' menu
choose "pictures"
choose "from file"

then browse to the 'folder' where you keep your pictures (e.g. my pictures)

then select one picture by clicking on it,
then click the gray "insert" button

you can then re-size and adjust the positioning on your slide in powerpoint
as you normally would

cheers
