Powerpoint album discovery

OK I haven't used powerpoint recently. I'm sure the last time I made a slideshow had to be before Microsoft xp so when I went to use it today there was a new function that I really enjoy. You can now import an entire album into a powerpoint slideshow automatically placing one photo per page. Maybe this function was there before and I just didn't know it, but boy do I like it!! It is so much easier to now import photos than what I remember that I might actually start using it more. I placed some photos into a new file and then through the "insert; album" function was able to create a new slideshow. The default even includes a title page for your presentation. Once the pictures are added than all I had to do was add my text and play with the fun stuff (color background, slide transitions, font options, etc.)

I was actually able to not only create a full powerpoint presentation but I already have it uploaded into my Interpersonal D2L course shell for next year. Yeah! I like that function alot. Now in my class is "Holding the Sun Series" an experiment in Perception.
