Hello thank for very useful information. I am facing problem with cropped image in PowerPoint. I need to replace new imported image with cropped and scaled image. Can you please help? How can I get cropped information of original shape? Means on each side how much it is cropped and it's distance from each side of slide? Thanks

I've never worked with image cropping in VBA, but you can search sites like Stack Overflow to find some tips on getting started: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/powerpoint.pictureformat.cropleft stackoverflow.com/questions/1660428/cropping-an-image-in-powerpoint-using-vba stackoverflow.com/questions/23045513/cropping-a-fixed-area-from-a-picture-in-vba stackoverflow.com/questions/74149206/inserting-cropping-and-resizing-images-in-powerpoint-one-per-existing-slide I would start with those commands and then maybe see if you can use ChatGPT or CoPilot or something else to make more suggestions if you need them. Cropped images should store some information about how much cropping has taken place if you look at the first link.

Hi champion, how long will I have access to your BIWS course if I buy it? Is it lifetime?

[@financialmodeling]

Yes, no access limit once you sign up.

At about 3 minutes in, you have a formatting legend on the left side of your slide. How did you set that up?

[@financialmodeling]

Go to the first Layout of the Slide Master (Alt, W, M) and insert the text and shapes you want so they appear off the left-hand side of all slides.
