Changing slide size without loosing formatting

[SteepLearningCurve]

Hi,

I don't know if this is even possible, ive tried a few different things but to no avail so far.

My company has a standard slide format that it likes to use for producing training course notes / aids. The format is custom slide 34cm wide by 21cm high using the left side purely for additional, relative notes. This is all setup as the slide master.

However, I don't like this slide format and it looks terrible when being displayed as a presentation due to the high volume of writting down the side and the reduced viewable area of interest.

What I want to be able to do is produce course material in the custom slide format then find a quick(ish) and easy way to convert it to a standard PPT slide format without all the formating going haywire.

Im talking about courses with 50-60+ PPT presentations so its a very time consuming task.

Any help / ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi

We are currently working on an Add In that will try to do this sensibly preserving picture aspects etc (there is no 100% accurate way of changing the aspect ratio and retaining everything!). If you can send me a non cofidential sample slide I will check out whether it can work for you and send you a beta copy if it can help. Please say whether its for 2007 or 2002/3
