I have documents as images in a presentation and want to zoom in on them like you could do with any image editor, but I don't know how to do it in a PP presentation. Anyone know how? :dunno

Well...not EXACTLY like that, but...
Make another presentation with the zoomed in slide.
Select your graphic in pres1, and insert a hyperlink to pres2.
Select your graphic in pres2, and insert a hyperlink to pres1.
You *could* also just make pres2 another slide at the end of your pres1 instead of a whole diff pres. :)
We could probably automate this for you with some VBA, but it wouldn't really be any easier.
Any luck with that, Chris?
No--I posted the same question at TSG and had the same response--link to another page that is zoomed in. It just seems like with a program as powerful as PP, there would be some way to zoom in on a particular part of a slide.Quote:

'Value is 10-400
Windows(1).View.Zoom = 400
[/vba]
An issue is that I cannot determine a method to position a specific part of the slide in the viewable area of the window. If you can somehow capture the x,y coordinates of the area the user clicked, looks like you could use the ScrollIntoView method to correctly position that area.
