I like to use the freeware PixResizer (http://bluefive.pair.com/)

From "Help" --

PIXresizer is a tool for quickly generating screen-friendly versions of your images with dramatically reduced file sizes. It is a photo resizing program that enables you to quickly resize one file or a selection of image files for use on the web and in e-mail. The reduced files are saved in a different directory, so your original pictures are not changed.
The program offers several different resizing methods to choose from and can automatically recognize image sizes to calculate the best fit. PIXresizer includes a built-in image viewer and you can also convert between graphics formats: it opens and saves in .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, and .tif formats. A great companion for webmasters and digital photographers.

Paul's option sounds good.

If you do not have a lot of pictures to resize you could also do it with mspaint. Tacky, yes, but also simple!

start/execute/mspaint and then image/expand...

Sub changesize()
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.AddPicture _
FileName:="C:\Documents and Settings\John\Desktop\Gill.jpg", _
LinkToFile:=msoTrue, SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, _
Left:=100, Top:=100, Width:=80, Height:=60
End Sub

Obviously you will need to change the file name etc
