Powerpoint image resize problem

[Avotius]

If anyone is familiar with powerpoint, can you help me figure out why sometimes when I insert an image it arbitrarily resizes the image larger then the actual size? How can I turn off this pain in the neck resizing?

Note: When I go into format picture and size it shows that the image is 100% but it obviously is not.

Hi, I assume you're using a PC.. to resize use the drop down menu under "Format"-
- Click on "Picture"
- in the pop up box select the "Size" tab
- ensure you keep the relative aspect ratio fixed (this is a default option anyway) ("Lock aspect ratio" & "Relative to original picture size" boxes should be checked)

-etc.,

I think Powerpoint automatically sizes the pic according to its pixel dimensions, so you might try resizing before insertion.
