Making the slideshow WE style is straight forward.
I gather from what I read here and in the help files there is no way to plant this slideshow document inside another document so it looks like it belongs.
Yes, no?
Was hoping to avoid buying a 3rd party program.
I will skip the free online stuff.
IF I have to, which ones are you guys using?
and
How big a deal is it to install the finished slideshow into a WE document?
Thanks

very easy, just make an iframe, place the slideshow in there. example http://www.wbprints.com/ben/
what slide show does WE make?
I think everyone was in agreement that porta - free was the easiest slideshow program. http://www.stegmann.dk/mikkel/porta/

1: The WE slide show deal is actually in the help files but it's not exactly what you think it would be. Kind of leaves you hangin. That is the reason for the question.
2: What is an I frame, how to make it, how to use it, yada yada?

so you want to click on the image and have it open a picture larger on the same page not just pop up a window. you need to do this with a seperate piece of software like a slideshow. Install the porta program I gave the link for and build a slideshow very easy program the first one I did took 5 minutes from install to slideshow. then make the iframe... container then tools >custom script
<iframe name="body1" src="pics\example1.jpg" width="250" height="300" style="border:2px inset #000000" >
</iframe>
or
is this what you want? http://www.raingod.com/raingod/resources/Programming/JavaScript/Software/ThumbShow/index.html
to do this you have 2 photos the thumbnail which WE will make for you and the larger image which you have to target to an iframe.
See this link http://forums.avanquestusa.com/aq/showthread.php?t=5492&highlight=photos&page=2 check supas post at the beginning of the thread to see how you make the iframe with targets.
