Import photo album to Keynote

Hi

Can any tell me how to import a photo album (about 100 photos) to Keynote in one go? I can import them to a single slide but I don't know how to import them to separate slide (100 slides). This then I will make a simple automatic slidshow with background music for the opening/background of an event.

Thanks in advance.

*AH HA*

It seems it can be done in Keynote. Typically it is too simple. Drag the folder to the slide sidebar and it's all done in a trice!

I know PowerPoint has this feature, but I'm not aware that Keynote does. However, one of the reasons Keynote may not is that iPhoto can do this for you. Just put your chosen pictures in a album and at the bottom of the page click "+slideshow". You can link it to a playlist in iTunes.

I hope this helps.

As far as I can tell neither Keynote OR PowerPoint 2008 will do the seemingly basic task of importing a folder of photographs and creating a presentation.

In fact with an up to date Mac you cannot simply create a presentation with the photographs on separate slides with the slides properly aligned without doing it manually. Any PC version of PowerPoint on the other hand will do it.

I know you can do a sideshow in other software, but that is no use whatsoever when you are presenting at a conference and need to hand in a slide set.
