Integrating+PowerPoint+with+Photo+Story+3

= = = = =There are two options for using PowerPoint and Photo Story 3 together.=

1) Use PowerPoint to Create Title/Text Slides for Photo Story 3 Projects:

 * This can be done before or after your pictures have been inserted into Photo Story.
 * It works well for text and clipart slides.

Steps:
 * 1) Open PowerPoint and create your slide(s).
 * 2) Go to FILE then SAVE AS.
 * 3) Name your file & locate the folder where your other photos are.
 * 4) Change SAVE AS TYPE to JPEG FILE INTERCHANGE FORMAT.
 * 5) Click SAVE.
 * 6) You will be asked if you want to save Every Slide or the Current Slide. Choose Every Slide if you have more than one slide. Choose Current if there is only one slide.
 * 7) Your slides have been converted into images so that they can be imported into the Photo Story. They should be saved in a folder with your other pictures.
 * 8) Go to your Photo Story to import and arrange the slides just like you would do for any other photo.

2) Convert an entire PowerPoint into a Photo Story:

 * 1) See the steps above.
 * 2) Ignore references to other pictures.
 * 3) You will use the EVERY SLIDE option in step 6.
 * 4) Your PowerPoint special effects and animations will not work in Photo Story 3.
 * 5) You will have to use the Photo Story 3 effects (transitions, motions, music, narration, etc.) to enhance your presentation.
 * 6) Your PowerPoint will be converted into movie format (.wmv) when you are finished.
