I use Power Point quite a bit and Have a problem with capturing the image and
attaching it to a power point file. when I paste it, it becomes humongously
large and I constantly have to resize it. Is there a way to change the
default to shrink it from 100% to 70% when the CTRL & Print Screen command is
used?
Thanks,

Have you tried pasting into a content placeholder resized to suit?

If you have to make a lot of screenshots, I would recommend not using the
PrintScreen command, but to buy a screenshot tool like SnagIt,
www.techsmith.com . You can automatically save the screenshots to a folder
and then use its editor to batch convert all the images to 70 % size.
Best regards,
Ute
