Import Multiple Photos Into Powerpoint As Slides

When the default PowerPoint slide appears after the program is opened, two boxes rest on the slide. Both offer the option for users to type in text -- by default, a title and subtitle. But just because PowerPoint defaults to this text entry doesn't limit a user to entering just text; in fact, text isn't even required to create a PowerPoint presentation. For a visually enticing slideshow, import multiple photos and let the pictures do the talking.


Instructions


1. Open PowerPoint. Click the "File" tab at the top-left of the screen. Click "Open."


2. Browse to the location such as the desktop or the folder where the photos for the PowerPoint slides exist.


3. Press and hold down the "Shift" key on the keyboard. Click once on each photo to highlight it. Click the "Open" button and the photo are imported onto the slides.


4. Drag the photos into place on the current slide. To add a new slide, click the "New Slide" button on the ribbon/toolbar, which adds a slide 2 to the slide deck on the left side of the screen. Drag the photos off the main screen slide and drop them onto the additional slide(s) in the slide deck.
