I want to know if I can create one of those inspirational slide shows with
words that show up on top of full-screen photos so I can send it via email
to all my friends, etc.
If so, how? Is there a step by step on this anywhere (tutorial)? I can sort
of figure out the making of the slides, but how or what do I save it as so
it's readable by everyone who gets it by email and doesn't speed through
each slide at top speed in Quick Time(PC or Mac).
For a newcomer to newsgroups, you're off to a good start. One little thing:
it's usually a good idea to mention which version of PowerPoint you're using.
Do the people you're sending this to have PowerPoint or the free Viewer?
If so, you'd save your presentation as a PowerPoint Show, make sure it has .PPS
at the end (the "file extension" Windows software needs to let it know what
type of file it is).
Recipients may be able to launch the attached PPS file directly but more often
they'll prefer to or have to save it to disk then doubleclick it.
You'll probably want to choose fonts that are common to most Macs and PCs.
Boring but safe ... Arial, Times New Roman, Courier. Verdana and Tahoma are
pretty much universal on PCs as well. Design so that if the text size changes
slightly up or down, your layout won't break in unsightly ways.
