Changing existing ppt to wide screen

Hi,

we have quite a large ppt on the standard screen format and now have the task to produce it on wide-screen. Is there a quick way to do this or does it mean that we will have to re-adjust the size of the charts on each slide?

Many thanks,

Franziska

RE: Changing existing ppt to wide screen

Hello Franziska,

Thank you for your question. You could do the following:

Select all the charts in the presentation at the same time, then right-click on one of them. Next click "Size and Position" in the dialogue box. Set the Width of the charts to 75% then click Close. Afterwards, change the aspect ratio of the presentation to wide screen. This should result in the charts having the correct ratio in wide screen mode.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

PowerPoint tip:

Reduce PowerPoint file sizes

In PowerPoint, images often take up a lot of space which can lead to difficulties when it comes to emailing files. Luckily PowerPoint does contain some tools to help deal with this issue.

1. Disable the Fast Save feature - so that any changes you make will be immediately reflected in the file size. Go to Tools > Options > Save and deselect 'Allow fast saves'.

2. PowerPoint has an inbuilt compression tool, which is located on the Picture Toolbar.

If the Picture toolbar is not visible on your screen, go to View > Toolbars > Picture.

To compress or reduce the size of a picture, select the picture then click the Compress Pictures button on the Picture Toolbar. You can also right-click on a picture to access the option to compress it.
