Is there a way to make the setting for "resize autoshape to fit text" permanent ? I.e turn it off for all shapes I draw in a presentation ?
I do a lot of drawings and this is driving me nuts. Every time I draw a shape I need to manually change the setting (right click etc). A real pain! I never had to do this in my previous office version.

Copying from one ppt to another resizes objects
I am using Powerpoint 2000 with Windows XP Pro SP3
I made a powerpoint for screen presentation and now I am copying the
contents of slides into a new powerpoint with a different page size to be
used as figures in a report. Certain objects - rectangular boxes, and oval
shapes - copy correctly at first but as soon as I move them in the new ppt
they get resized. What's more, in some cases they won't allow me to increase
the size beyond a certain limit to get them to the size they were in the
original. I assume something has been set in the new ppt which is affecting
the size of these objects. Can anyone help and suggest what I can to to stop
this happening
Grateful for advice.
It turned out not to have anything to do with copying and pasting.

certain objects had been set to "resize autoshape to fit text". When you try
to move an object with this setting it immediately changes its height to a
fixed value, and doesn't allow you to change it
Now, I suppose I need a macro to try and clear that resize setting from all
shapes which don't have any text. Grateful for thoughts on how to do this.

Sure ... this should take care of it (but please: test it on a COPY of your
valuable presentation, NOT the original)
Sub DueAutoFit(
Dim oSl As Slid
Dim oSh As Shap
For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slide
For Each oSh In oSl.Shape
With oS
If .HasTextFrame The
If Not .TextFrame.HasText The
.TextFrame.AutoSize = ppAutoSizeNon
End I
End I
End Wit
