	You need the special slide holders and not all scanners can do it, the light is reflected in a different way to when you scan normally.

Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 63 Send Message	Thank you Ann We have been given just two boxes of slides so don't want to have to buy anything new to do it as we don't have any others. Our current scanner does not scan slides. Don't have projector. We have photographed the slides with digital camerea and this was quite successful but not too clear. Regards Ann
