Thanks for the comments Linda.
The slide show is not going to be presented, just sitting on a table in a
break area. It's purpose is to just get a little attention. I'm showing in
on a 19" LCD flat screen monitor from a Dell Inspiron laptop. The system is
XP only. Once I've finished mucking about, I will save the show as PPS and
all animations will be automatic. I still have some tweaking, color-wise
for the system it's going to be used on and also on the timings. I don't
expect it will ever be shared via email...this is just a one time deal. The
"real" slideshows are being created by someone much more conservative and
have much more text than graphics.
I did spend a few hours on this thing and if it gets people talking a
little, then it's done it's job.

OK, Glenda....first of all, let me say the slideshow looks great. It's
obvious you put a lot of time into it and it's excellent in getting its
point across. And the photos and animation look really nice. You did
really well.
Now, I'm not the most artistic person, so I will let others address that
part. As far as I can see, it looks great. But, as someone who has
made lots of slide show presentations (both for myself and others), I need
to ask some questions from the presentation point of view. How will this
presentation be used? Is it going to run in kiosk, be presented by a
speaker, or be shared via email cuz that dictates how you should advance the
slides and animations.
For example....
If the show will be presented by a speaker, then it's best NOT to have any
of the animations automatic....particularly those where different parts of
text come onto the screen individually.....it's better to allow the speaker
to introduce that text on mouse click so it coincides with the actual spoken
words, etc., if you get my drift....there's nothing worse than a speaker
rushing to keep up with the text coming on the screen...or worse yet,
standing there waiting for the text to come (tho you CAN set it up for both,
so if it doesn't come on screen soon enuf, the speaker can click to get it
there....however, if it comes too soon, the speaker is kinda screwed)
However, if it is going to be shown in kiosk mode (sitting on a table at a
show or something), then you need to set it up for ALL of the slides and
animation to advance automatically since no one is going to be around to
click the mouse
Or, thirdly....if it's going to be shared via email, then you need to set
everything up as automatic, then save it as a pps instead of a ppt so people
won't see the PowerPoint interface at all but will simply double click on
the file and the show will run
Also, if it's going to be shared via email or taken on the road, remember
that a lot of those fun new animations included in PowerPoint 2002 do NOT
work in the earlier versions of PowerPoint, so you might want to take a look
at it on a machine that has PowerPoint 2000 to see how it looks.
Really nice job! Hope these comments are helpful.
