How can i zoom in a part, while running slide show?

Guest

Dea Friends,

can any one tell me, is it possible to zoom in a part while running slide
show?
Because we use these powerpoint presentations in different discussions and
meetings, so sometime on projector and multimedia too, some parts looks not
clear... so can i zoom in and zoom out any part while running any slide?

Hi,

If you have PowerPoint XP (2002) or PowerPoint 2003, you can use a
"Shrink/Grow" animation to do this. You set it to Shrink/Grow by about 150%
and it will zoom in on click.

Hi,

Select the picture,
Right click
Custom animation,
Add Effect button,
Emphasis,
Grow/Shrink (if it is not visible, you have to select "More Effects" and
find it)
Then double click the animation entry to get its properties,
You can select either making it bigger or smaller, and you can do it on
click. Then during slideshow it will zoom either in or out. Then you do the
opposite (like zoom out) if you want it to reduce back to size.

Hi

thanks alot Millar

I applied this effect, but as it zoom in, the picture part (writing) is not
clear and pixels get scattered... even i tries on 150% less and more also ...
so what i do?
Any suggestion ...

Hi,

Well, that's good because it proves it si working. Now, as to the
scattering. As the image zooms in it is getting worse as it is spreading the
amount of pixels you have in the image a lot further over the screen. You
need to either get an image that is twice the resolution (roughly), or get
one, shrink it in PowerPoint by scaling it down (dragging it smaller), and
then apply the grow effect. I usually insert an image, drag it to half its
size, apply a grow effect, and it zooms back out to normal size. Very sneaky
;-)

Hie,

i am too much thankful to you for the assistance you are doing wid me :)

well now i got the point, but see the pictures which i am inserting in the
slide, are getting from some other software, i.e. Autocad

So if i transfer it on jpg and than work, so should it be adjustable pixel
wise or not?

and mostly pics i am getting from a PDF image, so any suggestion for PDF
pictures?

thx again for ur early response

Hi Anney,

The trick is to somehow export the image out at a higher resolution from
AutoCAD or whatever you are using. But if you overdo it you will have way
too big file sizes from all of the extra information in the image.

As for PDF, that is not my area of expertise.

Along with what Glen suggested. You could always create you own zoomed portion
as a separate slide and have the transition make it look like it is zooming in
from the larger image.

Hi.

My first suggestion would be not to use JPG for images from AutoCAD.
The kind of compression it uses could be the reason for the "scattered pixels"
effect that you described.

Try PNG instead ... I think that should work better.

For images from PDF, it's harder to say. It may depend on what's already
happened to the image before it got into the PDF. But have a look here:

Like Steve suggested create an image, png would be the image of choice. You have
a slide with your full image (un-zoomed) the next slide would be a zoomed
portion of your image (done in a paint program of choice). The background for
this slide would be the full image as per the preceding slide, with a transition
appear from center creating the effect that your zooming from the center to your
zoomed image.

If you don't understand this, then email me direct at (e-mail address removed) with a
quick reminder on what the subject matter is. You could even send me a slide
with the full image, and I could show you what I mean.
