How to Make a Photo Slideshow in Powerpoint

A slideshow of pictures is similar to a personal photo album.

Microsoft PowerPoint is Microsoft's presentation software. One way to use the software is to create a slideshow of your pictures. The slideshow displays photos individually and on a full screen, making it easy to put together a collection of photographs to show friends and family. Saving your pictures into a PowerPoint slideshow also allows you keep photographs organized, so you can keep better track of your pictures.

Instructions

1. Open PowerPoint.

2. Click "Design." Select "Background Styles" and then "Format Background."

3. Click "Fill."

4. Select "Picture or texture fill."

5. Click "File" and browse to the pictures you want to add. Select one picture.

6. Click "Close."

7. Select the "Home" tab. Click "New Slide."

8. Repeat the steps to add more pictures.

Tips & Warnings

• If you do not change how the slides move, the slideshow will change pictures when you click the mouse or press the right arrow key on the keyboard.

• After you create your slideshow, you can adjust it using PowerPoint's advanced features, such as adding music or timing slide movement.
