How to change resolution of slideshow on fly with power point 2007

By Ashish Mohta

It’s really embarrassing when your slide show gets slow when you have high resolution images on a slower machine. I faced the same problem while giving a presentation last week. Later on I found that the images used in slide show were of high resolution and machine was in low.

I had been using power point 2007. Looking around I found this unique feature available which allows you to switch the resolution which is set when you create the slide show. Say for an example, You images are of resolution 1024 X 768 and the computer have 800 X 600. While running the slide show it will take a toll on system and make it little slower. So here is what you do.

Set resolution of slide show while creating it

  • Make a new slide show or open an existing one.
  • Now click on SlideShow on the menu.
  • In the slideshow menu, you will see Monitors which is the last item.
  • In this you get a option as Resolution.
  • You have option to set from 640 X 480 to 1024 X 768.
  • If you are going to show it on the same machine choose the last option which says, Use Current Resolution.

Power Point Resolution

That’s it. Now you will never have any problem even if the computer is having different resolution. Having trouble reducing resolution and image size try How to reduce image size in batch with a free software or if you want to give dual monitor presentation
