I use a 2007 version of Powerpoint installed via WINE. One huge drawback is photos do not have preview thumbnails.
Atlantis to the rescue! I open Atlantis, create a new document and then click on insert picture. This allows me to see a huge preview of each photo in the photo directory I am working in. But the best part is with Powerpoint open in another window I can simply drag the image I have selected to a new slide ready for an image.
Tip: Using Atlantis with MS Powerpoint

Do you have any issues with the latest version of Atlantis under Wine?
