Pasted Object differ in size on various computer

[Guest]

I think I have a setting problem in power point. I use VBA copy to select a
drawing from another application and copy it and then paste it into power
point. My VBA code been working with no problem.

The system I use at home paste the object into power point that is sized to
the power point paper size (full size). At home I am using XP sp 2 OS with
Office 2000 sp 3.

I send the same program to another person, and his systems all paste the
object at less than full size. I believe he is using XP sp2 with Office
2003. I also get the same problem on the system at work with win 2000 pro
with office 2002.

Is there a setting that I can make all these system produce the same
results????? I can size them for the other system using VBA code and then
its full size, but when I run the VBA code at home, the drawing is too large
for my power point slide.

Any ideas???

Probably so. Choose Tools, AutoCorrect Options and on the "AutoFormat As You
Type" tab, remove the checkmark next to "Automatic layout for inserted objects"

I am using Power Point 2000 sp3. I do see the Tools, but I don't see
AutoCorrect Options or the AutoFormat.

Under to tools, the only tabs I see are (View, General, Edit, Print, Save,
and Spelling and Style).


Could you give more information to find it.

Thank You!

You'd have to make this change on the Office 2002/2003 systems at work, not on your
2000 system, which doesn't have this misfeature.

Sounds like you're looking at tools > options. Auto correct options should
be just above that. If it isnt there RIGHT click on the menu bar and select
"customise" then "commands" and add this option to the tools menu.
