Resizing an PPT slide in a table generated by publish into Word
PROBLEM REPORT
Subject: Resizing an PPT slide object in a table generated by publish into Word Powerpoint version now in use: 2007 Windows version: XP Description of problem: I typically create handouts in Word of my PPT presentations by publishing from PPT to Word using the "Create Handouts in MS Word" procedure found in "Publish" under the Office button. Then I select "Blank Lines Next to Slides" and then OK. This procedure generates a three column table in Word, with the PPT slides being in the second column. I don't like this format, so I have written a macro in Word 2003 to delete the first and third columns automatically and a second macro to resize the PPT slides in the second column so that each slide's width is 2.9 inches high while maintaining the aspect ratio. This is my question: To write this second macro, I need to numerically specify the size that I want the slide to be resized as. In the past with Word 2003, I could left click on a slide and select "Object" in the drop down box under "Format" in the menu bar. But with Word 2007, I cannot find any way of numerically specifying the size of a PPT slide when it is in the table formed from the publish procedure. At this point, the only way that I can resize a slide is to click on it and manually drag it to the desired size. However, manually resizing will not work in a macro. I need a drop down box to specify the numerical size. An alternative solution may be to remove the slides from the table and paste them as a column into another Word document (If this is done, the numerical resize option becomes active and a number for the height can be specified. ). However, I can't figure out how to get them out of the table format and keep each slide as a separate object. Thanks for any help. |
