Slide show with Microsoft Publisher

[Patrick]

I have scanned a whole bunch of pictures and saved them each as a Publisher
file so that I can add Text boxes, etc. I am looking for a way to create a
slide show for these pictures - any suggestions?

You should have saved them as standard image files, that would have been
more useful as Publisher can't create a slide show and Pub files cannot be
used by slide show creators. Most slide show creation software has the
ability to add captions (not necessarily on the image itself).

I suppose now you can save each image as a jpg with the text on it with
Publisher then find a slideshow creation software to your liking and make
the slide show from them. However, this has added an unnecessary step
(imo). --- also depends on which version of Publisher you are using whether
you can save the pub images as jpgs.

You could convert your Pub file to a .pdf and then view it full screen in
Adobe Reader. Ideally tho, you should be using PowerPoint for slideshows.

==============================
If you save the completed files in the .jpg
format you could use the free PhotoStory 3
to create your slideshow.
