Question
QUESTION: I'd like to prepare a PPS with Power point.
After I entered 6/7 pictures, I liked to see them like a slide show.
On the slide show, those pictures don't look like as they are in the folder, not the same size.They look HUGE like if they are zoomed.
WHY?How can have them a regular size? I mean visible, that fit in the screen?
Please, try to understand what I mean .English is not my first language and I struggle to make you undersand me. Thank you.
ANSWER: Hi Germaine,
You will need to reduce the size of the pictures before previewing it on slideshow mode. There are many ways to accomplish this.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to use the format picture function on powerpoint.
1. Right click on the image you want to reduce in size
2. Click on Format Picture
3. In the format picture box click on the size tab
4. Under the Size and Rotate category you will see a box where it says height and width.
5. Click the down arrow where it says height. You should see the numbers go down on the height and width while click the down arrow.
6. Click on preview to see if the picture size decreased. If it has decreased to fit the box then you are in good shape.
7. Click ok and view slide show to see if the picture has reduced in size.
There is another option in the size tab but for now use this method and let me know if it works.
Thanks,
Mike

QUESTION: My goal is to burn the pps on a disc, to send it to friends so they can see the pps on a TV screen.
I have heard that we don't have to reduce the pictures because they will not appear very good in a large screen.What do you think?
What I have heard: only reduce if you want to print.
Another question:"My pictures" ask me a question: want to see as a slide show? for pictures reduced or not. The result: every thing has a regular size.Only Power point put the pictures at there 100%.
Answer
Hi Germaine,
You will need to reduce the pictures. It will appear on the TV as it would appear on the slides. You will need to format the pictures by reducing it to fit the box on the slide. The resolution might change but you can right click the picture and click format to fit the resolution of your screen. I have presented on many topics on huge projectors to many students with no problems. format the picture to fit the slide box. Remember if the picture is covering the box the picture getting cut off is more than likely.
This is true windows will allow you to see your picture to fit your screen resolution and powerpoint will display your pictures at 100%. That is why you need to format the picture in powerpoint. If you have any problems doing this I would be more than happy to assist you. You can email me directly at mvbali@gmail.com.
