Purpose: This protocol creates a PowerPoint presentation with one slide for each image file specified. The list files component reads in the image filenames (jpg in this case, but any PowerPoint-friendly format is fine) from a specified directory. One data record is generated for each image file in the directory. The filenames are passed into a VBScript (on server) component. A PowerPoint presentation is created and for each data record that enters the component, a new slide is added. Each slide contains a title (in this example, the filename) and the image specified by that file.
