I've watched the videos and they say you can do it, but I cannot find in the menus. I see a Text Box under the Slide Show screen, but cannot engage it. I also click on the Settings icon and click on the Titles box, but I do not get a text box to insert the text on each slide.
My iPhoto is Version '11.
Your assistance is appreciated.😕
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Click an Image in the tray at the top of the window.
Then click on the Text Slide button
The text slide will be placed before the photo on the tray above.
OT
Thanks, Old Toad, for providing a screen shot of inserting text. However, I do not have the same screen with my iPhoto '11 program as you have.
This is what my screen looks like ... for some reason I do not have the 'Text' Box at the bottom of screen like your program has. Nor, does the 'Text' Box appears above the photo 'tray'.
I have made a screen shot file. Can this file be opened at your end? I am so curious why my version of iPhoto is not the same as yours and Terry Devlins.
Here's the file path ...

Do hope I can resolve this at my end.
Thanks.
Gentlemen, that is Old Toad and Terry Devlin,
First, Old Toad, apologies for not getting my act together to submit a screen shot properly. Missed a few essential steps to do so. Terry, the screen shot I am including is self-explanatory in response to your instructions.
Here is the URL to access my iPhoto screen.

Question arising at my end, is why my iPhoto screen is not the same as either of yours. That is, I do not have a TEXT BOX icon. This is frustrating me to know end especially with having the latest version of iPhoto [at least I think I have.😕
You're in the Event mode. You must be in the slideshow mode.
Click on the slideshow in the Slideshows section in the left hand pane. There you will see the text button:
In this window:
Well, no wonder I was mixed-up. Okay, got the text concept in mind. But, I want to delete some of the photos in the 'slideshow' version but could not find 'Cut Slide' in the Edit menu. Also, I want to re-align a text box or use another font. I could not find any menu to make these changes.
Stop Press! Figured out in the meantime how to delete a photo. Just need to know how to edit the text once it's on the photo.
