Power Point in Office 2003 Repeat Formatting.

[Kurt M. Sanger]

High; I have a simple question. Simple to me. My company recently forced
us to upgrade to Office 2003, and now when I format a picture, then select
another picture, Control Y no longer is available to let me repeat the
formatting on the second image. I used to be able to do this to change the
size of all of my images/objects to be the same. I also used it to move all
of my images to the same position on multiple slides. I believe this ability
has not worked since the upgrade. Is there a simple solution I'm not seeing?

If I don't do this my presentations jump around and don't look great. But
doing it by hand for each image takes a lot of time. Any help would be
appreciated.

In PowerPoint 2003 (and 2007), Ctrl+Y repeats color and effects formatting,
but not size and position. Try using Grids and Guides to position your
objects exactly.

I am not happy with this upgrade to 2003. This costs me a lot of time at
work to do something I could easily do before. I think I'll look into other
packages.

Steve; Thanks for the link to the free tools. I'll check with my IT
department to get them to install them for me at work. After all their the
ones forcing me to use 2003 where the feature suddenly dissapeared.
