RE: Powerpoint

Hi Katrina,

Thank you for your question.

You can record a macro to resize and position any pictures you insert.

Insert your first picture. Select the picture and start recording your macro. Use the Format menu and select Picture. Go to the Size tab and reduce the height and width. Then click OK and position the picture. Stop recording the macro.

Every time you insert another picture into this presentation, run your macro to resize and position.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Powerpoint tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
