With Powerpoint 2002 I am having trouble inserting pictures from 'file'. I keep photographs from my digital camera in a folder but when I insert them into a slide show I only get a portion of the picture not the full version. There is probably a very simple answer but i cannot find it , can anybody help me?
 
Dear Hashdown --

Let's first try to determine who the suspects of this crime would be. Can
you see the entire photo in another application, like an image-editing
application or a picture viewer program? If so, I would be interested in
knowing what happens if you copy-and-paste the truncated photo from
PowerPoint to another app.

Let us know...
 
Is the picture actually being cut off, or is it just inserting at a larger
size than the PPT slide? (In other words, if you're in Normal "edit" view
and you zoom to, oh, 25% view, can you see the rest of the picture?)
 
My question is similar. However, my picture just inserts very large and I
have to resize it to fit on the screen. Is there a setting somewhere that
will get the picture to fit into the picture frame? Power Point 2000.

Thanks,
Linda

I'm having the same issues with Powerpoint 2000. Please let me know i
you figure it out.

Thanks,

There's no setting as such, but there's a free addin that makes it simpler.
Go to http://get.pptools.com
Download and install the free Starter Set

Read up on the included Place Exactly tool here:
The FREE PPTools Starter Set
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptools/FAQ00095.htm

If there's nothing selected when you memorize a position, the tool memorizes
the slide size, which means you can use the Place Exactly tool to "hammer"
newly inserted pictures to full page slide size in a single click.
 
Hi Linda,

If you are doing this a lot, one option might be for you to download the
Photo Album add-in from the Office online web site. This allows you to
insert many images at the same time and specify one slide for each image
and for the imiage to come in filling the entire slide area or in a frame
centered within the slide area. Then you can copy/paste the slides from the
Photo Album presentation to your presentation as needed.

Also, because of the increasing size of digital images PowerPoint 2002
attempted to resolve this problem on a per-image-insert basis by
automatically placing an inserted image into a slide layout placeholder
regardless of it's actual size. But enough people complained about this
that, in PowerPoint 2003, we no longer put inserted pictures into a slide
layout placeholder when inserted (which puts us back to the situation that
we have in PowerPoint 2000). The good new is that, in both PowerPoint 2002
and 2003 the Photo Album feature is built into the product (does not
require you to download an add-in).

If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that
PowerPoint provide addtional features/options for how pictures are handled
initially when they are inserted (without having to resort to VBA or
add-ins), please send your feedback to Microsoft at:

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)
