How to Add Captions to Photo Album in PowerPoint 2010

If you have made a Christmas Photo slideshow using PowerPoint 2010 before, you should have noticed that although it is perfect to see each photo on one slide, you cannot send them to back as background picture or add captions to them.

You can place captions under the pictures in your PowerPoint photo album.
PowerPoint initially places the picture filename in the caption, but you can edit it and change to your own. To add captions to your photo album follow these steps:

Step 1: Open PowerPoint 2010, and click “Insert” tab on the ribbon → “Photo Album”.
