Thanks again Rob. I will keep your directions handy for the next slideshow. I managed to come up with a slideshow in PSE. For a first attempt I am satisfied. However, I know that my next slide show has to be made in PE. I have learned enough to know that it will be even better. I think I have to get down to the real basics. Even in your directions, there are many terms I do not know. Perhaps I tried to do too much too soon. I will try again to go through the online manual for PE and see if it will start to make more sense. Once I have more of a handle on the program and the terminology, I will attempt a slideshow in PE. Thanks again for your help.
