Greetings! I need to convert two hundred 35 mm slides for a lecture to
PowerPoint. I have copied some slides from the projected image on a screen
by a digital camera. The picture sizes are 800 to 900 Kb per slide. How do I
transfer the digital images to PowerPoint? I am very new to PowerPoint. With
thanks in advance.
 
You can insert all pictures in a single folder and then use PowerPoint's
Photo Album feature - it's built-in into PowerPoint 2002 and 2003 and
available as a separate download for PowerPoint 2000. Here's more info:

The same page also talks about image compression.

There are other alternatives available - Image Importer Wizard from Shyam
Pillai offers more options:

Yet another alternative is Corporate Imaging's PowerTools Import-Export:

You may want to build the presentation in phases. At about 1 meg per
picture and 200 pictures, your presentation may become unruly. Of course if
your system is top notch and fast, you can ignore this.

Why not incorporate half of your pictures, then save and compress pictures.
Compressing the pictures will reduce the size of your presentation file by
discarding the un-usable and un-showable detail from the pictures.

Then build the other half, save and compress it, then merge the two. This
will likely take your presentation from over 200 megs to something like 4.

If you need help with any of the steps I've mentioned, please post back.
