Smile Resize and distribute width - 2 pictures

Hi
I have to copy 2 pictures into a PowerPoint (2010) page, then I need to

1) resize each image



2) distribute each across the page*

I need to do that for multiple pages in my PowerPoint doc, so its quite repetitive...

If anyone can supply code to automate this process, it would be very much appreciated...

*Please note that as the original sizes can differ in width (and heigth) I have been unable to use VBA code that simply resizes and then moves the resized pictures to a particular place on the page...

Many thanks

Andy

Hi John
Thanks very much for your note

The images are scans of printed adverts

Each needs to be 62% of its original size and 3cm from the top of the page.

I want the images to be shown distributed horizontally across the page

Each image also needs to line up with a text box which will include the page number of the publication, where the advert originally appeared

Please also note
1) that as the original images sizes can differ (depending on the size of the page of the original publication), I have not been able to be successful in using code that places the resized images in specific places on the page....the code I used will only work for some image sizes, and not others...

2) I need to do this for mulitple pages in my document...if possible (probably a big ask??) the ideal option would be for me to insert all of my images first (ie 2 images per page, on each page in my doc), and then to press a button and for the macro to go through each page (apart from the contents page, and a 'thank you' page) and to resize and distribute as appropriate, though a button to do this individually on each page would be an amazing time saver...either option would be amazing...

Hope you can help?...

Many thanks

Andy
