How to Add Captions to Pictures in PowerPoint 2007

How to Add Captions...

By Peter Weverka

You can place captions under the pictures in your PowerPoint photo album. PowerPoint initially places the picture filename in the caption, but you can delete this caption and enter one of your own. To add captions follow these steps:

1. Open the Photo Album dialog box.

On the Insert Tab click the Photo Album button.

2. Open the Picture layout drop-down list to Fit to Slide.

Layout options are displayed.

 

3. Click the Captions Below ALL Pictures check box.

It’s that easy! Now, all of your photos will have a line for captions which can be used to credit the source of the image.

Renewable Energy Video

This is an exemplar for the 4th grade renewable energy project. The word were written by Anna in Mr. Hudson's class. The slides and narrations were created by me for the students to use as an example. Images were hyperlinked in PowerPoint and the links are added as a Credit slide for the movie.
