When I use Photoalbum from the Insert menu to insert a
jpg image into a PowerPoint presentation, I cannot crop
the image with the picture toolbar. The cropping tool is
grayed out. What do I need to do to correct this problem?

Sonia,

I didn't know they were put into autoshapes. Mega cool! Doesn't help with
the current issue but it does help with something else.

Hi,

In addition to Shyam and Sonia, you can cut them and paste back as an image.
But it is too fiddly for a whole presentation.
