Photo Slide Shows in PowerPoint 2003 on the Fly
Like most entries found on this blog, I post IT things that I find and think might help you get more out of your
computer and applications. I was attending and presenting at the District 10 Moving Face to Face Programs
to Online workshop this week, and Jim Segers showed off this cool feature in PowerPoint 2003.
The feature is built-in and works very well for creating Power Point Photo Album slide shows on the fly.
This method allows you to quickly create a slide show of photos which is a presentation that consists of a
title slide and a collection of graphic images. And, you can have more than one photo per slide.
You can also add captions to each photo and some special effects.
I encourage you to try it out and pass this info to your colleagues and agents.

Creating the Photo Album slide show
- Start PowerPoint 2003 - Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
- From the Menu Bar, select Insert > Picture > New Photo Album
- From the Photo Album dialog box, select File/Disk
(Note - you can download your photos directly off the digital camera by selecting Scanner/Camera...)
- Navigate to the pictures desired, select the pictures and click Insert
- At this point, you can select several options to manipulate the photos
- Reorder the pictures
- Rotate the pictures
- Change the brightness or contrast of each photo
- Change all pictures to black and white
- Under Album Layout, Select 1 Picture - Depending on the
album layout selected, you will have Frame Shape, Caption,
and Design Template options.
Note - In normal view, add the text you want in each text box under each picture
If you don't add your own text for each caption, Microsoft PowerPoint will automatically use
the file name of each picture as the caption. - Click Create
- Make sure to Save your File!!!
