text: i got a mdg comp and how do i make a slide show with words and pictures.  for school...?   well, this task is very easily done if you have microsoft office (usually comes with the software bundle from mdg computers). all you need to do is open up microsoft powerpoint and use the slideshow wizard to get you started. powerpoint is all about making slide shows with text, sounds, videos, and pictures. and after about an hour or so and twiddling with the features, you'll be all set for making your presentation. best of all, most school computers have powerpoint on them so you can send your ppt file from home and open it up at school to present.
