STEP TWO: INSERT PHOTOS

Before tackling this step, you'll want to save all your photos on your computer, on a storage device like a floppy or CD, or on the school network. If some photos are on paper only, scan and save them to one of the locations mentioned above.

To add photos to your slide show,

  • Click Slide 2 in the left pane.
  • Double-click the center of the slide, browse to find the project folder (in which you've saved your photos!), and double-click the photo you want to insert.
  • You might want to move, crop, or rotate your photo. If you're unsure how to do those tasks, take a look at the Holiday Worksheets with Word techtorial. Moving and cropping graphics is the same in Word and PowerPoint so just follow the steps in that techtorial to edit your photos.
  • Repeat the above steps for each slide, inserting and editing photos as desired.
  • Save your work frequently.
  • You also might want to save a backup copy of your slide show in another location -- on another computer, a USB drive, or the network, for example. This project will take some time to create; it would be heartbreaking to lose your work.
