Cropping tool on picture tool bar

I recently created a slide show in PP 2003 using the photo album options to
mass import pictures from a file to the slides. The transfer went great but
when I highlight one of these picture in the slide the cropping tool does not
become active for this picture. When I insert the same picture the more
conventional (and slower way) one at a time the cropping tool works fine.
Why does the cropping tool not work on pictures imported with the photo album
option? Thanks, Jerry
 
Because the Photo Album feature places the photos in an autoshape (rectangle) as
a background, so it can no longer be manipulated as an image. If you use the
Image Importer Wizard, you won't encounter this issue.
