PowerPoint 2003 magnified pictures?

[Guest]

Why does PowerPoint 2003 inserts only magnified portions of pictures into
presentations?

 

[Kathy Jacobs]

PPT is actually inserting your picture at full size. If you zoom out on your
slide in edit mode, you will see that the picture is much larger than the
slide itself. You can make the picture smaller in PPT itself and then use
PPT's compression tools to shrink it. Or (a better option), use your
favorite graphic tool to shrink a copy of the picture to the size that will
fit the slide and insert that.

Is there no quick easy way to insert photos from file into PP without

If the image comes in all that large, it's a pretty good sign that it's way
bigger than it needs to be (in other words, that your PPT files will become
bloated and slow).

Have a look here though. It explains how you can use a free add-in to make
this a one-click affair.

TIP: Resize images to fit the slide
