if the pic hass a different aspect ratio to the placeholder / slide it may
fit the appopriate dimension to the placeholder and shrink the other to avoid
distortion

"Hi afdmello",

Don't know if this works in PPT 2007, but it does in PPT 2002:

INSERT | NEW SLIDE | FORMAT | BACKGROUND | in the background window, click
on arrow for drop-down menu | select FILL EFFECTS | PICTURE tab | click
SELECT PICTURE | click on name of desired picture | INSERT | check "lock
Aspect Ratio" | OK | | APPLY.

Good Luck.
Andy I.

I think that you can easily insert pictures in powerpoint, at the time of pasting the picture, you should enlarge the picture, by pulling it, while inserting pictures in the powerpoint is might be easy, you can also search on internet for more.
