scanning colour slides

That scanner has an auto film loader which will do strips of film. If
your slides are in holders I'm not sure how to proceed.
But if you only want to look at them on a monitor - no problem.

Thanks Alan.
My slides are all in holders and I would want to scan them in their holders.
I'm hoping someone can tell me if that is possible and what sort of quality
to expect.
I am going to look at one in PC World but the sales staff don't usually know
this information.
I won't be doing sufficient copying to warrant a top class scanner.
Kind regards,
Jim.
