I can see your issue with needing a slideshow but unless there's a way of slowing down the powerpoint slides, it's going to be a waste of your time. The images load too slowly and move along too quickly.

You can do both, one for website usage and a slideshow as a feed to that big screen you're talking about, but I'd have to have a little more information before I point you in any directions... I've not worked with Power Point since 1996.
I don't intend to sound like an arrogrant or spoiled control freak, but, like National Geographic did with their recent slide show, I want viewers to see what I want them to see. Besides, on PowerPoint, the viewer is given the option of pausing on a pic, go back or move on to the next one, plus it loads very quickly (an introduction/credit page - five seconds - comes first, then the show), and, has music (by John Lennon - I wonder what that nice little addition cost).

I wish I could send you the URL, but it was an attachment sent to me. If you want to see it, PM me and I'll forward a copy to you. It's worth seeing what the best of the best photographers in the world do.

Not withstanding my lacking photography skills, I need now to figure out how to get what I have uploaded. .pps looks to be the way to save the index.
