Picture Manager: How do I email pictures with pix title and not n

[Frustrated User]

I understand how to email pictures in Microsoft Picture Manager. I often
like to have the pictures appear in the body of the email rather than as
attachments. It makes for an easy quick read by the recipients. I also like
to enter a title for the picture, e.g., "Tom and Sally swimming," which MSPM
allows me to do. I want to enter each title once, on my file copy of the
picture, and I want the email recipient(s) to see the same title without my
having to re-type it. But when an email is created, MSPM automatically
places the rather useless "name" of the picture, not the informative title,
under each picture. The name is a nonsense number generated by my digital
camera, e.g. "P102633." How do you adjust MSPM so that, when it generates an
email in this way, it automatically places the title and not the name under
the picture??

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Then you will need to change the "rather useless" name generated by your
camera to something more meaningful by using the "rename" feature. You
will see that option if you right click on a picture.

I actually have done it that way for several years, that is, I've entered my
descriptive title where the rather useless camera name is. Doing it this
way, MS Picture Manager works great for sending an email ... my descriptive
title shows up nicely underneath the picture in the body of the email. But
as sophisticated as Picture Manager is, MS left out a slide show! Windows
Photo Gallery has a nice slide show, but when I switch to Gallery for a slide
show, the titles that show with the slides are NOT the descriptive title, but
are the "captions" in the Photo Gallery format. Also, Gallery has a
dumbed-down interface with email ... you can only add pictures as attachments
to emails, not in the bodies of emails. Bottom line ... if you want a photo
library with pictures that can both be embedded in body of an email and shown
in a slide show, you need two Microsoft products. Very awkward and
incovenient, especially because of the need to enter the descriptive titles
twice. Any solution? Thanks very much for any reply.

Picture Manager comes with later versions of Office. Photo Gallery comes
with later versions of Windows. Perhaps the answer is to use the
software that came with your camera.
