MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2007Picture Insertion
Is there a why for Powerpoint to autoadjust the size when we insert a picture into a Powerpoint project? Right now, we have to manually adjust each image to fill each slide. We'd like the program to automatically resize the image so it fills the entire slide, but haven't found how to do that. Try inserting it as a background. To do so, click Format > Background. Click on the dropdown, select Fill Effects. Click on the Picture tab, then click Select Picture. Look for the picture you want to insert and click Ok > Apply.

Thanks! That works better, except on portrait type images, it doesn't maintain proportions--it stretches them to fill the slide.

Click "lock picture aspect ratio" in the Format | Fill Effects | Picture dialog. It becomes available after you've selected a picture (tick it before hitting OK). It will probably cut off some of the picture, though. You can, of course, just use Insert | Picture | From File for those portrait pix. If you really need many portrait pix on horizontal slides, you may need to use a batch importer like Image Importer Wizard. http://skp.mvps.org/iiw.htm SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ > Thanks!
