Resizing a PowerPoint slide can be done in a few easy steps. Here’s a quick guide:
- Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the ‘Design’ tab in the top menu bar.
- Click on ‘Slide Size’ located at the far right of the menu bar.
- A drop-down menu will appear with two options: ‘Standard (4:3)’ and ‘Widescreen (16:9)’. These are pre-set sizes that you can choose from. Select the one that suits your needs.
- If you need a custom size, click on ‘Custom Slide Size’. A dialog box will appear where you can input your desired slide width and height. You can also choose the orientation of your slides and notes, handouts, and outline.
- Once you have made your selection or entered your custom size, click ‘OK’. A pop-up will ask how you want to scale the content. You can either ‘Maximize’ to fit the content to the new slide size or ‘Ensure Fit’ to make sure all content fits on the new slide.
- Click ‘OK’ and all your slides will be resized.
Remember, choosing the right size for your presentation depends on the medium you will be using to present it. For example, a widescreen (16:9) ratio is commonly used for presentations on modern computer screens, tablets, and TVs, while the standard (4:3) ratio might be better for older screens or projectors.
