Resizing PowerPoint Slides for Poster assignments
Answer
When creating a poster using PowerPoint instead of MS Publisher or Adobe InDesign, it’s important to resize the PowerPoint slide to match the dimensions of your poster. This ensures you have a clear view of the entire workspace for designing the poster.
The default PowerPoint slide size is not a standard page size commonly used for posters. Resizing the slide to the appropriate dimensions means you will have a better view of the available space for the layout and visual elements.
Steps to Resize the Slide:
- Go to the Design tab.
- Click on Slide Size.
- Select Custom Slide Size.
- Choose standard page sizes such as A3 or A4, or enter custom measurements for larger sizes like A1 or A0.
- Select the orientation (horizontal or vertical).
