Importing multiple pictures into PP presentation

[PaulFryer]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Power PC

I occasionally give photo presentations, and these use a Windows computer. It is set up to use PowerPoint for this, with one photo corresponding to one PP slide. I keep my pictures in iPhoto, and organize the presentations in iPhoto also.

The question is, how do I do a bulk transfer of all the pictures in an iPhoto album into successive slides in PowerPoint? I can do them one at a time, by transferring all of the pictures to a folder on the desktop (easy), and then importing them singly into PP slides. This takes a long time, as a typical presentation can contain 150-200 photos. So I would like a way to do this in groups.

Thanks for any suggestions.

There are links here to several do-it-yourself methods and several commercial
add-ins, including Jim's of course.
