Shrink images all together

Post by agibsonsw »

Hello. Word 2003.
I've exported a PowerPoint presentation to Word (File, Send To Word). Is it possible to shrink all this miniature slides in one go?

When they are in Word they appear in a Table with 3 columns. Can I persuade it to start with only two columns (the 2nd and 3rd ones)?

Thank you.

You can't omit the third column from the export, but it's easy to delete it in Word.

Here is a macro that resizes the slides and deletes the third column:

Code: Select all

Sub FixSlides()
  Dim shp As InlineShape
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Columns(3).Delete
  For Each shp In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
    ' Resize to 25% of original slide
    shp.ScaleHeight = 25
    shp.ScaleWidth = 25
  Next shp
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Best wishes,
Hans
