Showing off my photo's

mary2012

I would like to do a slideshow type of thing to show my photo's to a group of friends.. I cant find powerpoint on my laptop. It has MS Office, but when I tried to put the Product Key in from under the machine it says its invalid.

Any idea's please

Have you tried and and remove programs and added it in via that? Otherwise looks like you are either using the wrong key, or that key does not support powerpoint.

Seen this as it will probably get you working today - openoffice impress how to save presentation a MS powerpoint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjqHxPy3-vY

Could use Libreoffice Impress http://www.libreoffice.org/features/impress/

The product key under the machine is for Windows (your operating system) not MS Office (which you have to buy separately).

If you have an MS Office licence, enter that number.

If you're used to Powerpoint, you can use the stripped-down online version http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/web-apps/

Alternatively, LibreOffice is a compatible opensource (ie free) package which will do the same job (though it feels old fashioned if you're used to the ribbon interface).

Ah I see, thanks. I have just bought the machine not Office.

I will get Open Office uploaded. Thank you :T

Download Picasa 3 from google ( free download ) and this will create a picture cd or video. also keeps all photos in the same area for looking at

Put the photos in a folder on their own. Right-click the first photo and select Preview. Once that photo loads in the Previewer click the big round button (bottom centre) with the picture frame in it and all of the photos in that folder will run as a full screen, chromeless slideshow.

Irfanview. You don't need an office app for a slide show!
