Gaye,
I agree with your conclusion on not having the spinning headlines in the PSE slide show.
I no longer have PSE 6 installed so I looked at the transitions in the PSE 7 (which I think are very similar to those in PSE 6). My generalization about the transitions from the PSE slide shows is that the photos remain "stationary"' and the transitions are applied over/on top of the photo. So your photo will not spin.
If you have never previously done video editing and you are working on a tight timeframe for this slide show, I think it will be more practical to stay within the capability of the PSE slide show. Sidd's idea of creating an image with a newspaper background looks good. Then experiment with the various PSE slide show transitions - perhaps the gradient wipe or pinwheel: whatever type of motion you think fits best despite the fact that it will not be the spinning newspaper.
Other muvipix participants - do you agree or disagree? It seems to me that it would be possible for Gaye to
-- not use any transition where the spinning headlines would be, but add time to the duration of that photo
-- make the Windows Media file from the PSE slide show editor and save on the hard drive
-- open PE 7, add the Windows Media file as a video on the PE 7 Timeline
-- split that video at the point where the spinning transition should be and add the PRE 7 transition at that point
HOWEVER, my concern that would be a difficult task for someone who has never previously done PE video editing has stopped me from recommending this approach.
