How to Create a Photo Album in Powerpoint
With the many new features available in Powerpoint 2007, one of the most fun ones is creating a photo album. We always think of using Powerpoint for work but this is one of the features that can be used for personal enjoyment. We all keep our photos in digital format these days, so a great way to organize them by subject and share them with people is by creating photo albums. In this tutorial, I will show you the basics of creating a photo album in Powerpoint 2007.
First, try to keep you pictures in a picture folder to make it easy to find them. Go to Start>Microsoft Powerpoint to open the program. Next go to Insert>Photo Album and select it.
Now you will see the Photo Album pop up window. And in here it’s where you will do most of the work. Next click on the “File/Disk” button right under “Insert picture from.” Next find the folder where you have the saved pictures and select the ones that you want to include in this particular photo album (Press Control Key while selecting more than picture to move a group of pictures at once). Now you will see the pictures under “Pictures in Album.” You can preview them by clicking the specific picture and reviewing it in the “Preview” window to the right hand side of the pop up window. Also if you want to add text to the pictures you can do that by clicking the “New Text Box” button right under “Insert Text” sign.
Next go to the bottom of the pop up window box, and select a layout for your pictures – you have the option to put one picture or several pictures per slide. In this example, we’ll select “Fit to Slide” so that you have one picture per slide.
Finally, click the “Create” button to create your photo album.
Great! You just created a photo album in a couple of clicks. Remember, you can always go back and have fun adding features to the photo album.
