PowerPoint Slide Show

[notsobrite]

I was trying to create a slide show with jpeg pictures in PowerPoint 2007
that would be saved on to a memory card to be viewed in a digital picture
frame (I tried using Kodak EasyShare but that's a joke and so is the Slide
Show Expression software). I inserted the pictures into PowerPoint, then
rearranged in chronological order, (pictures were originally scanned into a
folder), when that was completed, I saved the slideshow, closed down the
computer.

When I came back to finish the slide show, the pictures where not in the
chronological order I had originally saved, I did this several times with the
same result, I finally had to just send the slideshow as it was to the memory
card, time had run out and I had to mail out the digital picture frame for
Christmas. For future reference, what did I do wrong, or can't I use
PowerPoint to create a slideshow strictly from pictures, (but that doesn't
make sense since I was able to do so in 2003), so I must have been in a hurry
(which I was) and did someting wrong. Please advise. Thanks

I don't imagine any of these digital photoframes have a computer with PPT built
in, and that's what you'd need to displays PowerPoint shows.

You could create your show in PowerPoint then choose File, Save As, and pick JPG
as the file type. It'll ask whether you want to save just the current slide or
all slides in the presentation. Choose All and you're in business.
