Hello,

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly there should be
some additional grid/guide features in PowerPoint don't forget to send your
feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

In reply to Michael:
1A - Select the image, right click, select Format Picture. From th
Position
Tab, insert '0' for both the vertical and horizontal positions, fro
the Size
Tab Insert your slide width into the width window, making sure tha
the Lock
aspect and Relative to original picture size are both check marked
Click OK.
this will resize, and center your image.
Click to expand...

But that moves the object that I was trying to keep in position, an
that was the whole point. Or did I misunderstand something?
2A - I have not tried this. but once your satisfied with your screen
capture layout. I would try inserting your original image onto thi
slide,
positioning it with the imge in thescreen capture. Remove and plac
the screen
capture image back onto the clipboard, and then see how th
transition lines up.
If the transition works, then you can manipulate your object again
Click to expand...

Didn't seem to make sense the first time I read it, but now I think
know what you mean. Sounds like a great way of doing it.

Thanks again

Your question re the above was this:

1. When I do a screen capture and paste the result it comes out bigger than the
slide, and I have to reduce the size to match the slide. Is
there a way of doing that without dragging handles, say, by using a dialog box?

My reply was how to scale and center using a dialog box.
