How can I make a photo slide show in powerpoint97?

[Guest]

I have received photo slides shows before which I thought were created with
Powerpoint. I have been trying to find out how to do it without inserting a
photo on to a regular slide or to see the slide in the background. Also, How
to insert a photo in a portrait layout instead of landscape. I have
powerpoint97.

Try Format/Background/Fill Effects/Picture.

To onsert a photo in a portrait layout, you'd first set your PPT file up in
portrait. Do that under File/Page Setup.

If you need both portrait and landscape in the same file, see

The photo slide shows are created using the Photo Album feature, built
inside PowerPoint 2002 and 2003.

PowerPoint 2000 users can download the free Photo Album ad-in, but that does
not work with PowerPoint 97.

You can work with third party products though:
