MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Why is the crop picture tool greyed out
I want to crop a photo in powerpoint. I have selected the picture and I have the picture toolbar up. I can't figure out why the CROP button is greyed out. (the RECOLOR and SET TRANSPARENT are also greyed out but I don't need them. >I want to crop a photo in powerpoint. I have selected the picture and I >have > the picture toolbar up.

You cannot crop grouped objects in PowerPoint. Another possibility: If the photo is the fill of an AutoShape, it cannot be cropped either. Kind regards, Ute Did you use "Photo Album" to insert the photo? If so, it is no longer croppable. In that case you can either use an image editing program to do the cropping before you use Photo Album. Or you could use ImageImporter Wizard - - http://skp.mvps.org/iiw.htm  SignatureSonia Coleman Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun Software, Templates and Tutorials http://www.soniacoleman.com >I want to crop a photo in powerpoint.

If it was copy/pasted from another app, that might be the problem. Try ungrouping it. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ See her reply above.
