Slide Shows and Views So far we have been working with the elements of a slide show: Text, Text Boxes, Pictures, Shapes and SmartArt. This lesson shows you how to put it all together. We will begin by creating a simple Photo Album. Then, we will add slides from some of the shows we created earlier. There will be several presentations open at the same time, so we will also look at the different Views you can use in PowerPoint. This lesson begins with a Photo Album. Before you begin, please download the sample pictures. You will also need to download the sample presentations if you did not save the slide shows that we created in the beginning lessons.
