Slide Library (MOSS and PowerPoint 2007)

Where is this Slide Library I’ve heard so much about?  Well, it’s not enabled by default, but it is a feature that can be enabled.  (Unfortunately, it looks like this is a MOSS-only feature instead of a WSS feature) Once the feature has been turned on, it shows up right where you think it would – under Libraries on the Create Page.

How to enable a feature:

  1. From the main page, select Site Actions -> Site Settings
  2. Under Site Administration, select Site Features
  3. Find Slide Library in the list of Site Features and select Activate.    

NOTE: When deactivating this feature, the user DOES get a warning that any content created using the feature is lost if the feature is deactivated.  Nicely done MS.
