Powerpoint Shortcut: Loading a Folder of Images
mmacken on Oct 09 2007 at 11:30 am | Filed under: Powerpoint
On a PC, it’s easy to load a folder of images directly into Powerpoint. With your presentation open, click on Insert in the menu bar, then click on Picture, then New Photo Album… This option lets you select an entire folder of images to add to your presentation. To learn more, download the VRC’s Powerpoint Manual for PCs (pdf).
Macs do not have a built-in photo album option. You can, however, install a simple program to import a folder of images.* For a free version of this program, contact the VRC. Please include your version of PowerPoint and your operating system (e.g. PowerPoint 2008, Mac OS 10.5). A similar application, InsertPicture Add-in with more advanced features, is also available for $10 (educational pricing).
*N.B. always ensure your version of Powerpoint is compatible with the software you are installing
