  6. After setting the Show field, you will see a field immediately below it named Directory. Enter the name of the folder you created in step 1. For example, if you created the folder "my_show" inside "sc_images", you would enter my_show in this field. 
  7. If you wish to show captions for your slides, check the Show Captions field. Your image names (without file extensions) will be used as the captions for each slide.
  8. Fill out the rest of the form fields, using the field descriptions in the Record Guide section of the Creating and Modifying topic as a guide.
