When you're ready to present your PowerPoint slides to others, look no further than the PowerPoint slideshow feature. Use this tool for all types of slides, but slides with photos work best for most viewers.

Before you create slides for your slideshow, you need to decide how long you want the slideshow to be, how it should flow, and what images you want to use.

With PowerPoint's Photo Album, you select the pictures and PowerPoint creates the master slide show. Fill your slides with informative text and harmonious background music, then turn your collection of slides into a self-running photo slide show with music that can be played as a video or saved to a CD.

When you're ready to create a photo slideshow with music, PowerPoint makes it easy to get started. To begin, select Insert > Photo Album > New Photo Album.
