Inserting slide BMPs to Powerpoint

Hi Lionel!

See if this article and this screencast help bring some consistency to inserting your images.

Thanks for the reply Peter.

I don't think this actually answers my question, as both linked bmp files are 4:3 already.

This is really dependent upon the resolution rather than the ratio.  If you are using 800x600 slides and insert an 800x6600 image it should fill the slide.  It may be better to do insert picture because this is this way the image retains its size.

Another way you could do it is to create a content layout with an image placeholder that is set at you slide dimensions and then drop your image into that placeholder.

The final way you could do it is to format background and then insert the image as a background, that will ensure the image is fullsize on the background

That said this is a powerpoint issue and not Studio, you may get a more informed answer by asking a question on their forum.

This may help you batch import your images http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00050_BATCH_IMPORT_images_into_PowerPoint.htm

That's the thing: both bmp images are much larger than the slide, but one of them inserts as the same size, and the other does not.

Thanks heaps for that link, I'll give it a go.

Absolutely brilliant, you can't know how much time you have saved me, I love you guys....
