when I change a page layout, all of my images resize automatically. How can
I change the layout to another size but keep my images locked to their
original size? Thanks!

You'd have to not put the objects (images) in the placeholders.

Alternatively, set up a slide master where the bulleted text placeholder
matches the area you want to use for content. This may or may not work well,
depending on how your images have been sized and what the slides look like.

This is one reason I put only text in placehoders and I *don't* put objects
in placeholders. [We had a thread asking about that recently, so if that
poster is reading this, well, here's a perfect example! :-) ]
 
Echo,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I did not create the original,
but when I checked the slide layout, it appears that all of the slides use
the blank layout - no placeholders. I will second your opinion on
placeolders - It's good to know how they function and to think about your
long term use and modification process before you create your presentation so
you can make informed decisions about when to use placeholders and when to
bypass them entirely!
Thanks again,
Ella
