Yes, and it does work as described, thank you.  It worked beautifully
today when I used it for a slideshow at a funeral showing pictures
of the life of the person who had died.  It was much appreciated. So
special thank yous to you all! :-)

(The funeral was especially sad because it was that of my niece who
has died at the age of only 43, the slideshow helped us all)
