Does anyone know why my original art, that is a png file, which I have loaded
into the ClipArt Organizer changes it's original size when i drag it from the
ClipArt Organizer to the PowerPoint slide? My original png graphic might be
100x100, but when i drag it from organizer to the slide, it makes my images
smaller, say 90x90. Has this happened to anyone and do they know the fix?
Thanks,
Tina

The size you mention, 90x90, will vary with the current zoom level, the
resolution of the monitor you're working on and a few other things.

Depending on the version, PPT inserts PNGs and other file formats that
(generally) don't have DPI info at an assumed dpi of anything from 72 to 96
(more in some rare cases).

Image sizing in PPT is hard to pin down, since the resolution of the output
device (monitor, printer, whatever) isn't really locked down.
