Roderick,
In PowerPoint 97, you need to use the ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth properties
to size the image.
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddPicture( _
"C:\Under Development\test.jpeg", _
msoFalse, _
msoTrue, 187, 46, -1, -1).Select
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
.ScaleHeight 1, True
.ScaleWidth 1, True
End With
