Hi all,
PPT2003
WinXP Pro
Windows font smoothing - standard
I was wondering if someone could provide me with an answer/solution to the
following 2 queries.
1. Font smoothing
I am using Verdana in a presentation with sizes from 16 to 24 and the edges
are definitely jagged as if font smoothing has not been applied. I have font
smoothing (standard) switched on in Windows.
I have applied custom animation (fade and motion path) to the text boxes and
was wondering if this could be the cause of the problem and if there was a
remedy.
As I can't find anything about font smoothing in ppt I assume it picks it up
from the Windows setting or am I missing something?
2. Image Scaling
A peculiar one this. I have 5 small png pictures (125x66 pixels) that I
created using Fireworks. I created the first one of a night and put it onto
a ppt slide. The next morning I created the other 4 with the same size and
put them onto the same slide.
The 4 I created in the morning showed up on the slide as bigger than the one
from the night before. Both Fireworks and Windows are showing all the
pictures as 125x66 pixels. The first picture is showing up in ppt as
3.31x1.75cm with 100% scale and an original size of 3.31x1.75. The other 4
pictures are showing up with an original size of 4.41x2.33cm - I have had to
reduce the scale to 75% to get them the same size as the first one.
Any explanation would be welcome.
