New to PowerPoint

[Jen]

I am new to PowerPoint, so forgive me if I'm asking a basic question!

I would like to use PowerPoint to create a slide show of a photo album. Is
it possible to use graphics I've created in Paint Shop Pro as slides? I have
created the 'pages' of the album using my photos, and would like to be able
to put these into a slide show.

These 'pages' are full size for my screen resolution, but how do I save them
as slides to use in PowerPoint?

Many thanks for any help!

Save them as PNG and then insert them as pictures in PowerPoint.

However, if you have Windows XP you might find that Movie Maker 2 (free from
Microsoft) is an even better solution than PowerPoint. Movie Maker produces a
video file that is easily distributed to others and doesn't require PowerPoint
or the PowerPoint Viewer. It's a really good application for photo albums.
See http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx
