MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2005Auto-Resize Images When Pasting
I have just been upgraded to PowerPoint 2003. I use to be able Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V into a PowerPoint slide from another program and the picture would automatically resize to fit, maintaining its aspect ratio. Also, if there was an existing picture in the slide PowerPoint would shift and adjust the size of the picture to allow room for the new picture. I am using the blank.pot I had before the upgrade What can I do make this happen again Hi Brent, I use Format, Slide Layout when I want pictures to autosize. I pick the appropriate text & content layout. Then when I'm ready to paste the picture, I first click on the Placeholder, then click CTRL-V and the picture autosizes.

I use to be able Ctrl C/Ctrl V without any extra effort. Also when I use that method with layouts it changes the aspect ratio of the orignal. A bit of more info my old system was win2000 with PowerpPoint 2002 SP3. New system is WinXP Pro with PowerPoint 2003 SP2. I just verified with a win2000/PP 2002 SP3 and Copying/Pasting auto-sizes to fit the slide. In both cases I am using the same template. > Hi Brent, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > > What can I do make this happen again You're one of the relatively few people who like this feature. It was anything from confusing to infuriating for most people, so MS made it stop in Office 2003. Other than using one of the Content autolayouts, I don't think you can get PPT2003 to do what you're after any more. > I have just been upgraded to PowerPoint 2003.
