Default Copy & Paste Shapes & Motion Paths from 1 Slide Size to Another

I'm new to the forum, so please excuse the elementary nature of this question.



I have been working on a VERY detailed combination of motion path animations (116 objects, etc.). To enable what I thought would be "easier" work, I formatted a blank presentation with slides 7.5"H X 22"W so that I could keep the contents of two slides in constant view with a 2" buffer zone separating the content. I worked on my animation scheme in the left-most 10" of the wider deck (working within the bounds of a standard 10"W deck) and finally finished this evening. HOWEVER...pipe organ music here...when I copy and paste the content of the left-most 10" of my wide deck into a slide in my standard (7.5"H X 10"W) deck, the motion paths are shorter/not reaching as far as they did in the original "working" slide. Can anyone PLEASE help? If I have to rework the motion paths in the standard deck I will, but I'm hoping it won't come to that.

Thanks in advance.

Buckaroo

Never tried that but it doesn't surprize me and sorry this won't really help just explain.

If you delve into the code of Motion Paths the actual path is stored in a VML path which in it's simplest form might look like

M 0, 0, L 0.5, 0.25 E

The important bit is what this means!M=Move 0,0 is where you are now L is LINE and E is END
BUT.... 0.5 means MOVE 0.5 * slide width right and 0.25 means MOVE 0.25 * Slide Height down. You can see that if you change the slide size this could get unpredictable the distance moved is relative to the slide size.
