I don't spend a lot of time with PowerPoint but I am working on updating someone's presentation and it is basically a title page followed by pages of photos set up as 4 photos to a page with a caption under each. I have about 6 different sections, each section starting with a title page. In updating, I have to add and delete some photos. I was wondering if there is a way to have all of the photos linked together in an order so that if I have to delete say photo #37, photo 38 will move into position 37 and 39 to 38 and so on, basically snaking one frame up or down depending on if I am inserting a photo or deleting one completely. I don't know if PowerPoint is the best program for this or if I should be using Publisher or Word or some other program. I am using Office 2003. Thanks for any help.
Pixie 78, I do not think this is possible in PowerPoint natively. If your pictures were in a Word table that would be possible. -- Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint "Pixie78" schreef in bericht news:17BCAB26-E4D5-4F7B-9FD4-846B534896C1@microsoft.com... >I don't spend a lot of time with PowerPoint but I am working on updating > someone's presentation and it is basically a title page followed by pages > of > photos set up as 4 photos to a page with a caption under each.

Pixie, Make a two column table in Word, put your pictures in column two. Select all the cells in column one and apply numbering. Now when you delete a picture (row) or add a picture (row) the other rows will renumber. -- Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint "Pixie78" schreef in bericht news:EFE37BC9-7153-4324-A8B2-46F9F6A63795@microsoft.com... > Excellent.
