>>I found Windows Live Photo Gallery on my other (newer) computer. I installed MS update (as required). But MS disappointed me again; the Windows Live Photo Gallery has nothing interesting to offer. Very little control over the slide show. And mostly I was looking for a way to place a frame around each picture. Back to the PowerPoint; for now.

http://picasa.google.com/No, I have not tried picasa. I will check out right now. Although I am half way through the setting up the pics in the Power Point. These special birthdays cause a lot of stress <g>. I have tons of work and I am spending all day working with these pictures. Thank you.
