I have a slide with 1 picture filling the slide. Next I want to shrink the
original picture and introduce and 2nd picture that fills half the slide. I
can't get my head around either the flow or technique to make this happen.
I can do it with two slides and have the 2 pictures a static size, but I
wanted to be able to see and control the rate of transition to the 2
different sizes. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

Which version of Powerpoint are you using? If it's 2002 or greater it is very
easy animation with "grow/shrink" under custom animation. If its prior
version you will need to use multiple slides to "pseudo" animate the way you
want.

Have 2003 - grow/shrink: doh! shoulda thought of that one. Thansk

Larry,
You may have already thought of this, but.....
When you do this, think backwards. Start with the large size photo. Shrink
it and intro the second one. If you start with small pictures, they will
look terrible when you enlarge them. But, when you start with the big ones
they look great at either size.
