How to run a Simple Slide Show with manual indexing.
(“Windows Picture and Fax Viewer”)
• Open your folder containing the images.
• Left Click on “View”, “List”.
• Left Click on “Edit”, “Select All”. (They should all turn blue).
• Right click on any of the blue area.
• Scroll down to “Open With”, then across to left click on “Windows Picture and Fax Viewer”.
• Your first picture will open in a new window.
• Left Click on the screen icon at the bottom, fifth icon from the left.
• The pictures will start in a slide show. Pause them by moving the mouse up to the top right hand corner of the screen and left click on the pause icon, (two parallel vertical lines).
• Move your cursor out of sight off the right of the window, when the top menu will disappear.
• You can now index your images manually by operating the “Enter” key, for forward indexing, or the arrow keys for forward or backwards control.
• To leave this mode move your cursor back to the top right hand corner of the screen and the short menu will reappear.
• Either click on the red “X” to exit, or the “Play” (green) button to resume the slide show.
• Note: you can use this small top menu to move around your images manually also, but it is tidier to do it from the keyboard, with no screen menu showing.
