I have a 65-slide presentation that needs to have the corporate presentation
.pot applied to it. Now that I have done this, there is LOTS of fallout.
Mostly, it involves resizing to make smaller grouped graphics and grouped
texboxes or a combination of the two. (The original .ppt used all the slide
real estate; I need to reduce content to about 70% or more.

What is the most efficient way to handle this? Keep in mind, my edits need
to be editable to others in the future (so I cannot just take snapshots of
stuff and resize them.) I’m working in PowerPoint 97.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know that there is any kind of good strategy here -- just lots of
tedious resizing.

Sorry.

You know, you might want to check out the (free) RnR Starter Set, though.
The Hammer tool might help you, as it positions items on a slide -- but it
can also resize them at the same time. http://www.pptools.com/index.html

Or the ShapeStyles demo, for that matter.  More flexible.
