![]() ![]() You’ll see something like this:Īll you have to do is click on the slides you want to pull into your new presentation. You’ll then be presented with the Reuse Slides panel on the right:Ĭlick on Browse and find the 4:3 presentation on the Outdated Template. Way down at the bottom of this fly-out menu is the option “Reuse Slides…” Go ahead and click on that. Then, on the Home tab where the New Slide button is, click on the text “New Slide” and you’ll be presented with this dropdown menu: For this example, I’ll pretend that I’m taking a 4:3 presentation on the Outdated Template and am bringing it into the 16:9 Fresh New Template.įirst, create a new presentation based on the 16:9 Fresh New Template. It also only requires you to have only one file open. It’s not only good for resizing slides – it’s also good for changing templates. You still have to rearrange your content. Pros: You will have the fewest problems with fit and formatting.Ĭons: You need two files open and it’s slower. You’ll still have to rearrange the slide content to look good and, in this case, you will have to redo image background fills. With this method, the master slides won’t be stretched or smushed. Simply put, you just copy all of the slide content from File A to File B. This method is the most tedious and requires you to have both the original presentation and the destination files open at the same time. Also, you still have to reorganize your slides to make the content fit in a nicely designed manner. This is the option that will reduce the size of all of your content so that it all fits on to the slide and doesn’t bleed over to the pasteboard.Ĭons: If you have logos or images on your master slides OR have filled the background with a picture, when you change sizes, those images will be stretched or squished no matter which option you choose. Because the slide is filled, some of your content will bleed over to the pasteboard.Įnsure Fit: Think of this as your “ FIT content proportionally” option from InDesign. All those things on the slide act as though they’re grouped together for this transformation. The frame is your slide area and the content that fills it is everything you have on the slide. Maximize Fit: Think of this as your “ FILL frame proportionally” option from InDesign. Once you pick the ratio you want to change your presentation to, you’re presented with this option (one in which no one ever remembers on the first try which one they should choose): The fastest way to change the slide ratio is to go to the design tab and clicking on slide size. Let’s go through the pros and cons of each method. Perhaps one of the bigger pains in PowerPoint is changing your slide size from 4:3 to 16:9 or vice versa.
