MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008Static Image Box like QuarkXpress/InDesign?
In QuarkXpress/InDesign, I'm able to create an image placeholder-style of box. This box would have a specified size. WITHIN this box I would place my image file, but the image file would be completely independent of the box. Example: I wanted to show only a 2"x2" image on my document. I'd create a 2"x2" box. Into it i'd import/place my image file. I can then freely move my image file around (from within the box) and resize it. During all of this, the 2"x2" box would stay in the exact same place and size. Can I do this in PPT? > Can I do this in PPT?

Is this about bringing images in like you would with Quark or InDesign or is this about animating the image within the box? PPT 2007 has picture placeholders, which are similar. You can't move the stuff inside around the way you can in Quark or InDesign -- at least, not with a "hand" tool. You can, though, specify the offsets (along with size and tiling and various this, that, and the other), which essentially does the same thing.
