Fitting 2 slides on to 1

I need to make 2 slides fit on to 1. They are both made up of text boxes and auto shapes. I have tried to group and copy to a new slide with 2 text boxes but they copy over @ 100% and take over the whole slide. How can I reduce each slide to 50% and copy over to a new slide so that they can sit side by side?

Thanks

Samm

RE: fitting 2 slides on to 1

Hi Samantha, thanks for your query. Have you tried putting each slide into Slideshow then taking a screenshot using the Print Screen key on your keyboard. That will copy each successive slide en block onto the clipboard and you can paste and resize it as you wish on the new slide.

Alternatively, group everything on the slide, copy it then, then paste special as a picture onto the new slide. Resize as you wish.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Powerpoint tip:

To copy an object on your page

To copy an object on your page quickly and easily instead of using cut & paste, try this instead.

Select the object you want to copy by clicking on it.

Hold down the "CTRL" key on the keyboard.

Click (with the left mouse button) and drag the object to the new position. Simple & quick.

Now try it again but press the "Shift" key at the same time as the CTRL key, this will keep the objects aligned. Great for making diagrams etc.
