|  | | Create a Photo Album
Using the new Photo Album feature in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you can quickly create a photo album presentation with pictures consistently sized, placed, framed, and even captioned.
To create a photo album, on the Insert tab, click Photo Album. In the Photo Album dialog box, click File/Disk under Insert picture from to locate and select your pictures. You can edit pictures, add captions to pictures, and customize the picture layout and framing format, all from the dialog box. When finished, click Create to generate the presentation.
To enable captions, in the Picture layout box, select a layout other than the default Fit to slide layout. If you have enabled captions for all pictures, the default caption text is the picture file name.
Note that if you don't select a theme in the Photo Album dialog box, your album uses the Office theme. You can apply a different theme at any time from the Design tab.
You can edit album slides directly as in any PowerPoint presentation. Or on the Insert tab, click the arrow at the bottom of the Photo Album icon, and then click Edit Photo Album.

  | 2003 to 2007 Workflow
Routing a Microsoft Office 2003 Editions document for approval or review often means sending it as an e-mail attachment. Unfortunately, doing so creates multiple copies of the same document and requires the document owner to manually merge all the returned documents together. Alternately, you can place the document on a centralized file share, but approvers and reviewers must have access to the share, and they may have trouble if more than one of them attempts to access the document at the same time.
With the 2007 Microsoft Office system and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can initiate and participate in automated document workflows from within the application. To initiate a workflow:
1. Save the document to a SharePoint document library.
2. Click the Office button, and then click Workflows.
3. Select the workflow you want, and then click Start.
4. Enter the workflow participants, type a personal message, select the number of days or weeks allowed for completion, and then click Start.
The document will be automatically routed to the first approver's Inbox, where he or she can review the document and then click Edit This Task in the Outlook 2007 Reading Pane to approve or reject the workflow task. If the task is approved, the document is routed to the next approver in line. There is one version of the file, and the process runs automatically until it is completed or rejected by an approver; in both cases, you are notified and can take further action if necessary.
