adding text to start of show

[SQUIRE]

I'm trying to figure out a way to add a complete frame of text to the start
of a show in Photo Story 3. I would like the first frame of the show to be a
description of what is to follow, I don't want to add the text directly to
the photo in the show. Can anyone out there give me some guidance on this???
Thanks.

====================================
You could use a second copy of one of
your images (you can add the same one
as many times as you like)...or...you can
create a blank and import it just as any
other picture into PhotoStory.

Here's one way to do it.

Open MS Paint....

(Start / Programs / Accessories / Paint)

Open a picture in MS Paint....
(File / Open...choose any picture)

Type...Ctrl+Shift+N

Now you have a blank.

Next...select..."Fill With Color" button in your left pane.

Left click any color you like for your title at the bottom of the screen.

Left click the blank to fill it with the color.

Now go to...File / Save As...

Choose a save location...(Desktop...for example)

Enter a name... Title Page

Choose a format... JPEG

Click Save.

Now import the edited file into PhotoStory....
Drag it all the way to the left and enter your text.

John, your advice and instructions worked like a charm, my hat's off to you,
anyone who can list such simple instructions and get the required results
like you have deserves a big THANK YOU. I'm a real novice when it comes to
pc's and photo shows, however, today I have a feeling of accomplishment,
unfortunatly, you'll probably be receiving more questions from me until I get
more confidence in this slide show thing, again, THANK YOU.
