I need more content placeholders

[Guest]

Hi, in our reports (in powerpoint) we have up to 8 photographs. I use the
"click icon to add content" but i only have 4 from the layout template and i
need 8. I don't seem to be able to copy and paste them either.

Current limitation of all versions of PowerPoint. What is there, is what we
get... So no real easy solution for creating a template.

You might want to look at our ShapeStyles add-in.

If you started with one sample slide with images sized as needed, you could
"memorize" the position of each image as a named style. Then as you insert
images on other slides, you could choose e.g. the memorized ImagePosition-1
style and apply it to an image to automatically size/position it.

Not as simple as having a pre-built PPT autolayout with placeholders you can
just drag stuff into, but a WHOLE lot easier than manually sizing and
positioning everything.

The free demo will let you test this with up to five or so styles.
