Can I use HTML in a slide show?

Yes! Both the Slide Title and the Slide Caption support all the standard HTML tags. That means you can add special text formatting like font colors, bold/italic text and so forth.You could make each slide title a different color.

A word of caution: You can put links into the slide title and caption, but don't link the entire slide title or you won't be able to access that slide in the slide show tool to make any changes.

Can I use a graphic instead of a 'text description'?

Yes. Create the graphic you wish to use, and upload it to your FTP server.

Then just use a standard image source tag in place of the 'descriptive text'.
