XP & PowerPoint 2003. I make up a show where each slide starts out in B & W
and then fades to color and have to go through all the steps with each
individual slide. Is there a way to do this similar to a "batch" process so
there are less steps?

Apply the animations to autoshapes, then format the autoshape with a picture
fill. That way it's easy to change the pictures but not have to re-animate
them all. (This is Glen Millar's patented trick!)

Alternatively, use something like Animation Carbon http://www.mvps.org/skp/
or Edit (Animation Settins Painter) http://www.pptxtreme.com/ to apply the
animations.

You can batch import photos in a variety of ways:

In fact, using PPT 2003's photo album as described there will import your
images as autoshape picture fills, but because you have so many, you'd need
to apply the animations to each one, so it's not a complete solution.
 
Thanks for all the info. I will examine the links and see what I can do.
