Microsoft PowerPoint - Few quick questions


Expert: Nancy Benner Janyszeski - 6/30/2009

Question
I just tonight 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!
Sarah


Answer
Sarah, from the Photo Album Wizard window you can select the picture layout -which lets you decide how many photos and the size and if you want a text box included.

The frame Shape - I used Oval

A PowerPoint Template design

Or... you can Insert text boxes from the Insert menu anywhere and any size at any time using any formatting you want.

The captions are Text boxes that can be formatted as you want.
