How can I create a PowerPoint picture slideshow?

Creating a PowerPoint picture slideshow is a straightforward and efficient process. Here is a step by step guide:

Step 1: Open PowerPoint

Begin by opening PowerPoint on your computer. Click on ‘File’ then choose ‘New’ to create a new presentation.

Step 2: Inserting the Slide

Go to the ‘Home’ tab and select ‘New Slide’ to add a slide for your picture. You can add as many slides as you need depending on the number of pictures you want to include in your slideshow.

Step 3: Adding the Picture

To add a picture, go to the ‘Insert’ tab, select ‘Pictures’ and then ‘This Device’. Navigate to the folder where your pictures are stored, select the picture you want to insert, and then click ‘Insert’. Resize and position the picture as necessary.

Step 4: Adding Transitions

Create a seamless transition from one slide to another by clicking on the ‘Transitions’ tab. Choose the transition style you prefer and click ‘Apply To All’ if you want the same transition for all the slides.

Step 5: Setting Up the Slideshow

To set up the slideshow, go to the ‘Slideshow’ tab and select ‘Set Up Slideshow’. Choose ‘Presented by a speaker’ if you will be manually controlling the slideshow, or ‘Browsed at a kiosk’ if you want the slideshow to play automatically.

Step 6: Saving and Playing the Slideshow

Finally, save your slideshow by going to ‘File’ and selecting ‘Save As’. Choose the location where you want to save your slideshow and give it a name. To play the slideshow, go to the ‘Slideshow’ tab and click ‘From Beginning’.
