Question I just last night learned how to create a photo album. It's cool it's so easy! Since I want a caption on each slide, I chose the "1 picture" layout.
It's great, but not yet ideal. I still need three things for it to suit my needs:
1) The picture is not filling the slide, but I need more room still to add in my captions, anywhere from 1-3 sentences. Can I resize the whole deck? (Or perhaps create the album differently from the beginning?)
2) The pics came in with an extremely thick border! I was a bit surprised. How can I change the border weight on all at once?
3) Where do I define the default style for captions?
Thanks!

Answer Photo Album is quick and easy but not very flexible!
The caption format is picked up from the template you choose. The other things are pretty well fixed. You can fairly quickly change the border. Set one picture how you like it. Double click on the format painter tool (looks like a paintbrush) and then go through the album clicking on each picture.
