It did leave a white border around each slide, but since most of my slides had a white background anyhow it does not look bad enough for me to manually adjust each one. His page about how to BATCH Import Images into PowerPoint page showed me how to open the Automator, add in an “Ask for Finder Items” Variable, then add a “Create PowerPoint Picture Slideshow”, save the thing to my desktop, click to run and SOLVE MY PROBLEM.
So – bless the little cotton socks of Stephen Rinsberg who created the PPTTools site. I *may* have *cough* over 100 *cough* slides, so did not fancy inserting each image one by one. I knew that I would have to do what Kate suggested – export each slide as an image and then import it into a new Powerpoint slideshow. I used one of the funky fonts that came with Keynote and – of course – when I exported my slideshow to Powerpoint and tried it on someone else’s PC, all the pretty font formatting disappeared. I decided to use Keynote for the first time when creating my presentation for the State Library of Queensland on Thursday. Your version of Powerpoint allows you to insert an album of images and instantly have one slide created for each one.įor the Mac, this functionality does not come with Powerpoint. Smug Windows users do not need to read this. I created a little application to do what Powerpoint could not. I just used the Automator that comes with the Mac. I love it when the Internet makes me feel clever just because I can follow instructions.
