Insert Album

[bydeign]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I want to use Mac Office 2008 like I do my PC PowerPoint 2007 in Vista, where I can Insert | Photo Album. From the window that appears I can select how many photos per page, which then resizes them and adds slides to accommodate my photos. It also allows me to insert captions, rearrange order of photos before inserting.
Then I can save each slide as .jpg format.
Why can't I figure out how this is done on the Mac 2008 software?

Perhaps because PPT 2008 doesn't have that feature.

However, PPT 2008 does interface with iPhoto where you can do some of what
you want to do. Use the Photos button in the Insert Object Palette of the
Toolbox to insert photos from iPhoto.

Use File> Save As & select from any of 5 image formats (including JPEG) to
save the slides as images. There are settings available in PowerPoint>
Preferences> Save. You can also use File> Send To> iPhoto.

See PPT Help for more details.

Hi,

There is an Automator action (made by your's truly) that you can
purchase or build (if you are not using Home and Student edition).
