How to Add Text for Your 2007 PowerPoint Photo Album

When you create a photo album with PowerPoint 2007, you may want to give some text onto each photo as a prompt. As we know, there are 2 methods for adding text on top of your PowerPoint photo album. One is using WordArt, the other is drawing a text box and then typing text. Move the WordArt or text box over each photo in your presentation, and then rotate the text to accommodate to your photo.
