![]() Maximize Fit: Think of this as your “ FILL frame proportionally” option from InDesign. The frame is your slide area and the content that fills it is everything you have on the slide. All those things on the slide act as though they’re grouped together for this transformation. Because the slide is filled, some of your content will bleed over to the pasteboard.Įnsure Fit: Think of this as your “ FIT content proportionally” option from InDesign. This is the option that will reduce the size of all of your content so that it all fits on to the slide and doesn’t bleed over to the pasteboard.Ĭons: If you have logos or images on your master slides OR have filled the background with a picture, when you change sizes, those images will be stretched or squished no matter which option you choose. Also, you still have to reorganize your slides to make the content fit in a nicely designed manner. This method is the most tedious and requires you to have both the original presentation and the destination files open at the same time. Simply put, you just copy all of the slide content from File A to File B. With this method, the master slides won’t be stretched or smushed. You’ll still have to rearrange the slide content to look good and, in this case, you will have to redo image background fills. Pros: You will have the fewest problems with fit and formatting.Ĭons: You need two files open and it’s slower. You still have to rearrange your content. It’s not only good for resizing slides – it’s also good for changing templates. It also only requires you to have only one file open.

You’ll see something like this:Īll you have to do is click on the slides you want to pull into your new presentation. If you want to keep the source formatting for everything on the slide, be sure to check off “keep source formatting” or PowerPoint will apply the new templates styles to the slide contents. “But wait! When I look at my slides, they have a stretched out background!” Of course, if you’re bringing things into an updated template, you should probably keep it unchecked. The last step here is to right click on each slide and choose the master slide you want to use from the new template. After you’re all done, check your Master Page view to see if old slide masters came along for the ride and delete them. Pros: Makes template switching easier. Can be fast.Ĭons: You have to change slide layouts from old to new template, which can present it’s own problems. You still might have to move things around. In the end, you’ll have to decide for yourself which is the best method for the projects you’re working on. And in 99% of all cases, you will have to rearrange your content.
