Please excuse me if these questions have been raised before. As a newbie
- I seek immunity from wrath!
I am quite used to working with P/Point - mainly in visual
presentations presenting hotels and destinations. I volunteered to help
a friend put his images of an Antarctic trip in a P/P presentation so he
can show it to school groups etc. I didn't realise there were almost 300
of them. So .... questions are:
1. Is there any way I can manage a mass Import of his images or is it
necessary to hit Insert New Slide and then the Insert Image >From File
etc.? When placing the CD in computer, the automatic default to "Do you
want a picture show" type prompt is exactly what I want .... except he
doesn't want the automatic 5 second transition .... he wants it set to
manual transition and I can't see how that can be managed using the
default "View a Slideshow of the Images using Windows Picture 7 Fax
Viewer"
and
2. When I have tried to Insert an image, the size of the picture on the
P/Point slide seems much bigger. For example - the picture of a penguin,
quite normal in his CD viewing - will only show the central part of the
bird when put on P/Point. I have tried fiddling about with the zoom
percentages but it doesn't seem to work.
I realise that these are very basic questions to this newsgroup but any
help you can give me will be much appreciated. I blithely promised I
would have this ready for my friend by the weekend.... and am getting
worried!
Many thanks,
Tom W.
