Hi

Please turn your caps lock off - it looks like your shouting and I'm sure
you don't mean to :-)

You could use the photo album add-in. See details & alternatives he
BATCH IMPORT images into PowerPoint

Or use the Image Importer Wizard

Default IMPORTING PICTURES

I found this posting after I submitted one very similar moments ago. The
photo album option only allows up to 4 images on a slide as far as I can see.
Is there a way to force 8 or 9 on a slide?
The other options are all 3rd party and also involve a fee. I cannot use
third party software at my place of employment. I have used a database
program that has a function to export images to a powerpoint template (.pot)
but the images are resident in the database and my images for this project
are small jpgs in a normal directory.
Should I look at learning how to write a macro in powerpoint? Are there any
options? I have approximately 500 images all jpgs of ~55k in size. this
project will repeat again so if I spend a weekend creating the presentation,
I would rather spend a weekend learning an automated method rather than copy
and pasting or inserting. ANY help would be appreciated. Thank you COlson

If you've never done any programming before, I expect it'll be more than a weekend
project to do what you're after. ;-)

Still, if you can't use 3rd party software, writing your own might be the only
reasonable option. On the page Lucy pointed you to, there's at least one link to
another page with sample code that might help get you started. The one you want is
he

Batch Insert a folder full of pictures, one per slide
