Sizing pictures in Power Point

[Bob]

Hi I use ALT Print Scrn to copy a picture then I paste it
to Power Point I can resize the picture to 1024*768 but I
have to do it every time after I paste, like this,
RM - Format picture
click - Size
Click - Best size for slide show
The default is 640*480 so I change it to 1024*768
Q. how can I default the size to 1024*768
thanks in advance
Bob

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you really need to stay away from
"Copy", "Paste", especially a lot of pictures. It will cause your file size
to grow beyond usefulness. After pressing ALT-Print Scrn, open Microsoft
Photo Editor, click "Edit", "Paste as new image". Click the "File" menu,
then select "Save as" and save it as a jpg. Then back in PowerPoint, click
"Insert", "Picture", "From file" and browse to your picture and select it.

Seems like a lot of work, but you will be happier in the long run.
