Fitting 2 slides on to 1

I need to make 2 slides fit on to 1. They are both made up of text boxes and auto shapes. I have tried to group and copy to a new slide with 2 text boxes but they copy over @ 100% and take over the whole slide. How can I reduce each slide to 50% and copy over to a new slide so that they can sit side by side?

Thanks

Samm

Hi Samantha, thanks for your query. Have you tried putting each slide into Slideshow then taking a screenshot using the Print Screen key on your keyboard. That will copy each successive slide en block onto the clipboard and you can paste and resize it as you wish on the new slide.

Alternatively, group everything on the slide, copy it then, then paste special as a picture onto the new slide. Resize as you wish.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

PowerPoint tip:

Convert a 2003 presentation to 2010

If you have a presentation in 2003 you can work on it with the 2010 enhancements by using the compatibility mode.

Open the 2003 file in Powerpoint, and it will open it compatibility mode.

Click on the File tab then select Info, and Convert. Then save the file using "Save as", type in your new file name, and then click Save.

Your 2003 presentation will now be in 2010 and you'll be able to use all the enhancements available.
