Microsoft Slideshow Wizard1.0.2.0

Microsoft Slideshow Wizard is a simple tool that allows you to create a slideshow which can be viewed in an HTML page.

Simple features and uncomplicated functionality

The user interface of the program consists of a wizard in which you can add individual images and folders containing the pictures by using the file browser or the "drag and drop" method. In the next step, you can input a slideshow and author name, select the output destination, as well as picture size (you can keep the current picture size or choose a predefined one).You can also select the slideshow type (simple or advanced, and optionally enable full screen mode) and set Microsoft Slideshow Wizard to resize only the pictures that are larger than the dimension you have selected.Once the wizard completes the task, you can view your newly created slideshow in an HTML image. Now you can use the code found in those files to upload images and share them with your friends.

Stripped-down application for creating slideshows

When you open the slideshow, you are first informed that it has been created with a Microsoft product, after which you can view images in a simplistic manner. If you have selected "advanced slideshow type" in the wizard, you can either view a simple image slideshow or a film strip, but you can also preview thumbnails.The program consumes a minuscule amount of system resources, especially by today's computers standards. However, we would have liked the application more if it would allowed its users to publish the slideshows directly online.There isn't even a user documentation to guide you in this direction so, mainly power users could handle this part of the process. Otherwise, Microsoft Slideshow Wizard is a simple software for putting together unpretentious slideshows in mere seconds, and with no more than a few mouse clicks.
