All New Unique Power Point 2007 Question (repost as previous posts showed up on existing threads)
I've posted this question twice, and both times it has attached itself to
existing threads. I wanted it to be a NEW thread...so I'm trying again a third time. My apologies...I've never run into this particular problem starting a new thread before. I have this software on a new Dell Portable. I've made a couple of wedding slideshows in the past, and am in the process of working on another one. I remember finding a utility or plugin that allowed me to drop in all of the photos (all scanned and numbered in order first) directly into PP, creating the need number of slides etc. Since PP 2007 is new to me, I'm wondering if I need find a similar utility, or if the new version has that ability. I haven't had time to play yet with the new version...it's on my list of things to do this weekend, but any pointers would be appreciated. In the past, I scanned all the photos and had them named/numbered (example 1001, 1002 and so on) and the utitlity to those files, all saved in one folder, and easily brought them into PP. The last version I used was PP 2000. Anything important I need to know about this new version before I start? We're talking a typical Wedding slideshow, with a music file attached to run along with the photos, most likely about 10 minutes long. The church we'll run this in has a projector, so we'll just hook up my Dell portable and run the show on the screen at the church. TIA, Melissa |

Melissa,
I answered one of the previous version... Quoted he As you have probably already noticed, there is a lot different in PPT 2007. Including the Photo Album. Go to the Insert tab and choose photo album. Select the pictures, give them effects and off you go. Now, if you want to really have fun, instead of using the photo album, pick one of the new picture layouts for your slides. Add one picture layout slide, add the picture and then dup the slide for the other slides. Right click the picture on each slide and select "Change Picture". Play around with it... You might like the results. -- Kathy Jacobs, Microsoft MVP OneNote and PowerPoint Author of Kathy Jacobs on PowerPoint Get PowerPoint and OneNote information at www.onppt.com I believe life is meant to be lived.

Thanks. Your post sent me in the right direction. I've made some headway
with the new PP. The Wedding isn't until late May, so I have time to figure it all out. Now all I need is a song for "sons". Girls are easy as far as finding good songs...
