Resize multiple PowerPoint objects in a table at the same time

Duradel · #1 11-03-2014, 12:57 PM

Hi there

I am a teacher and use PowerPoint throughout my courses. The default hand-outs of PowerPoint are way too small, which is why I use the 'Create Handouts' option in the Save & Send catagory in the options of PowerPoint 2010 (example in attachment).

This however generates the slides in a Word document and puts them in a table. I can see no way in selecting these objects at the same time and resizing them all at once. The only way I can do this is by resizing them one by one, quite a time demanding task.

Is there any way I could do this any quicker in Word?

Thanks a lot in advance!

P.S.: Having the lines in the colomn next to the PowerPoint objects is a must :-).

You could resize the slides using a macro like:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Dim sngWdth As Single, sngScale As Single, iShp As InlineShape
With ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
  sngWdth = .Columns(1).Width
  For Each iShp In .Range.InlineShapes
    With iShp
      .LockAspectRatio = True
      sngScale = sngWdth / .Width
      .Width = sngWdth
      .Height = .Height * sngScale
    End With
  Next
  .LeftPadding = 0
  .RightPadding = 0
End With
End Sub

Thanks for your input and reply.

I was hoping for an 'easier' solution as I have no clue how to work with macro's. I will look into this matter and hope to get this thing working for me.

Thanks again, other solutions are appreciated :-).
