Hello,
I would like also to add another method to create slideshows( if someone
dont want to work with HTML codes )
You can export your images in .gif files and then just simply create a
animated gif picture that you can copy and paste it in your publisher and
also resize it so simple as a normal picture
Here is an example of my slideshow:

Many thanks, I've cracked it now. I wanted reasonably uniform image sizes so
had to reduce all the images to a set size and then compress them. I also
managed to get the pics in the right position by simply moving the html code
box.
I did add some extra images later - I took David's advice and edited the
HTML code fragment - copying the text line and then editing the image number
and the jpg name.
I also used the clock script on the webpage you provided. Many thanks all.

To get your pictures to show:
1. Create a folder on your server, I called mine "slides" then put all my
resized images in that folder.
2. Take note of the link address (i.e) where you have put them and what the
absolute link address is:
"
http://www.breladecockerspaniels.co.uk/slide/ralf.jpg"
3. Open
http://www.ricocheting.com/js/slide2.html
4. Follow menu to taylor make your own options
5. If you chosse not to have a play menu bar make your you check the box to
Autoplay on load as images will not start to cycle through.
6. Input your link address into Slide URL box for each images.
7. With all your images in the same folder all you have to do is just keep
the same file name but just change the image name at the end of the link
address.
8. Press generate code to get your code to input via HTML Code Fragment.
9. Place code fragment on the the page where you wish the images to appear
you will have to do a few web previews to get it right.
iF YOU MAKE ANY MISTAKES OR WISH TO EDIT any links highlight the indivdual
code the use the menu options.
One thing i haven't worked out yet is, if later you wish to add additional
new images i haven't found a login so as to remember my past choices of
images, so you have to re-input all images again or change code directly all
ready generated if that makes sence.
Hope this helps.
Any problems.
Please post back.
Cheers

Thanks Rob - but how do you get the display in the position you want?
:
It's all done when you generate the script on that URL page that brelade
provided...you create the links there then copy the generated code and past
it into Publisher. Don't forget to upload the images when you publish to
your server.

David - hello again.
This is really good stuff but how do you link the image to the javacode.
I've cut & pasted the code to the top of my webpage - how do I link to the
image to get the slideshow to appear?

Brelade,
Thanks for posting back. That seems to be a great solution for people
looking for an embedded slide show.

David.
Thanks once again for your prompt reply.
I have taken your advice and Google for javascript slideshow code and
have
come acroos this site which is really easy to use and will allow you to
in
put your requirements from a menu rather than trying to change the
code.
CHECK IT OUT, it will also allow change size acorrding to the picture
size
which is good.

Also if interested he it is on my site, hope you like.

Hi brelade,
I have tried a lot of different javascript code snippets in Publisher
webs...some work, some don't. In general if you have to put something
in
the
Head section, I would move on to find one that doesn't require it,
because
the only way to put something in the Head section is to edit the
Publisher
code directly...you can't access the Head via a code fragment
insertion.
With that said, I have tested a number of snippets that said I had to
put
part of the code in the head, and I just inserted it into the body,
and
it
worked just fine. Like I said, sometimes it works...sometimes it
doesn't...which means trial and terror until you find one that you can
figure out...and get to work. If you google for 'javascript slideshow
code"
you will get a zillion possibilities to try.
I don't have time to test your example, but here is one that I have
tested
and does work in Publisher webs, but I am sure there are many others
that
work equally well, and perhaps offer more functionality:

I am trying to insert a Picture slideshow on to my main page, and
have
