In addition to stock photos, I often use screen shots from my desktop work, websites, or programs to use in PowerPoint presentations or Word documents.
On a Mac, use Apple+Shift+3 (for entire screen) or Apple+Shift+4 (to then select part of the screen) -- each creates a picture on the desktop, called Picture 1, Picture 2, etc.
On a Windows computer, just use the "Print Screen" button (which puts a full screen picture on your clipboard), then paste directly into PowerPoint or MS Word, etc. You may need to crop or zoom the size from there -- go to View menu, Toolbars, Picture -- then crop, zoom, etc. as needed.
