In previous tutorials about the Photo Album feature in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows, you learned how to create a new Photo Album and how you can edit existing Photo Albums by reordering pictures and changing the slide's picture layout. One of PowerPoint's most powerful features is to use captions for the pictures you add in a Photo Album presentation. By default, Photo Album uses the file name for your captions. So, if the original file name was "Winter Morning.jpg", the caption you see on your slide will be "Winter Morning" which is so perfect! Unfortunately not many people provide such nice names to their pictures. Most pictures are just subsequent numbers from a digital camera these days. Names like IMG06712.jpg are more common! You really don't want a caption like IMG06712. Fortunately, PowerPoint lets you change captions too!
