How to determine scan resolution

[M. Hahn]

I plan to create jpg files by scanning my old wedding pictures. The files
will be used for PowerPoint presentation. The size of the jpg file will be
10x7.5 inches. What scan resolution should I pick to get a clear and krispy
picture on a big screen by a computer projecter. Should I create 300 dpi or
600 dpi picture file on 10x7.5 inches canvas? Max

Hello

I'm no expert but the following should help:

Don't forget about the photo album option when you get round to making the
presentation (in 2003 insert->pictue->new photo album)

Thank you all. Your suggestiond solved all my questions about determining
pixel size for PowerPoint picture insert. I am a Photoshop user, so I won't
have any problem to match pixel size with computer projector's. Max
