MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2007Pasting screen shots into a Powerpoint presentation
Hi, when I take screen shots (am using Win XP SP2 and using Alt + PrtScn) then paste them into a blank slide in Powerpoint 2003, I have to adjust the properties of the pasted image afterwards to get it to fit the slide properly: - Format Picture - Position Tab - Horizontal 0 - Vertical 0 - Size - Best scale for slide show - Resolution 1024x768 (for this laptop) Having to do this for potentially dozens of screen shots is a pain, is there a way to set these properties as defaults or some other more effective way to embed correctly sized scren shots into my presentations? Thanks for any pointers.  Signaturejeremy Hi, First, go to www.pptools.com and download the Starter Set. It has an option to remember a position and size of an object (in this case, an image) ,and then hammer each later image to that size and position. The starter one is free. http://www.pptools.com/starterset/index.html http://www.pptools.com/starterset/faqindex.htm As for print screen, personally I'd get something like Snag It from TechSmith. You can do multiple screen captures and automatically export them to file. Then it is easy to load them all into PowerPoint in one hit.

Also am trying out Snag It - looks to be a very useful tool. Many thanks, jeremy Signaturejeremy Hi Jeremy One way to achieve this would be to paste the screen shots into picture manager then import them into powerpoint using the photo album feature (having first set up a template to base the photo album on that is how you want your screenshots to appear). Post back if you need more info. I might as well give you these links now: BATCH IMPORT images into PowerPoint http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00050.htm Or use the Image Importer Wizard http://skp.mvps.org/iiw.htm Lucy SignatureMOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au > Hi, when I take screen shots (am using Win XP SP2 and using Alt + > PrtScn) then paste them into a blank slide in Powerpoint 2003, I have to [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks for any pointers. > Hi Jeremy > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Or use the Image Importer Wizard > http://skp.mvps.org/iiw.htm Thanks for the tips Lucy, I followed Glen's suggestions.
