Inserting pictures

[Rich Weil]

Hello,
I want to insert 125 pictures from a file in "My Pictures" into PPT so that
every picture is a new slide but I'd like to select all the pictures and
insert them all on their own slides all at once, and not have to cut and
paste or insert one at a time. Is there a way to do this? PPT 2002 Windows
XP Home.

Thank you.

Rich,

have a look at Insert - Picture - New Photoalbum. It does exactly what you
want.

Kind regards,
Ute

Do be cautious with the Photo Album feature in 2002/3, I've been caught out
several times with it.
Rather than creating a presentation with one image per slide (as does the
Photo Album add-in for PowerPoint 2000) it puts a rectangle on each slide
with the image as a fill. While this means that you can create masks for
your pictures by changing the autoshape it means that you lose a lot of the
control you can have over the picture from within PowerPoint. For example
you can't crop the picture or reset it to its original dimensions.
That said it is a very quick way of putting images into a presentable form.
