When I select the contents of a slide and choose "Save as Picture" the resulting image has additional areas outside the area of the slide. I can't quite figure out why? I end up cropping the additional areas out and then saving the image again.



Ideas?

This is an example of what I'm taking about.

Notice the transparent area at the bottom of the image? This area does not show when I view the slide in PowerPoint - however, it does after I Save as Picture.

It appears the additional areas is connected to text. If text is near the edge of the slide, I get the additional space. If I move text away from the edge or delete it - problem goes away...

Bewildering...

Have you tried setting the text box margins to zero and changing Autofit to 'Resize shape to fit text'?
(all in Format Shape)

Yes - tried setting text margins to zero - no impact.
