When you insert a picture into a PowerPoint 97 slide, the picture does not fill the full slide area. You can create a PowerPoint add-in to emulate the behavior seen in PowerPoint 4.0 and PowerPoint 95.

Steps to Create the Add-in
 Open a new presentation in PowerPoint. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and click Visual Basic Editor. In the VBA Editor window click Module on the Insert menu.  Type the following VBA code in the module window. Sub InsertPictureToFitSlide '************************************************************* ' Purpose: ' This macro mimics the way in which previous versions ' of PowerPoint inserted a picture into a PPT slide, i.e., ' the picture is resized to occupy most of the slide area. ' ' This macro uses the method described in Knowledge Base ' article Q168649, "PPT: Sample VBA Code to Insert an Image ' Full Size and Centered" to resize the picture after it is ' inserted. ' '*************************************************************

Dim oPicture As ShapeRange ' Object for inserted picture Dim sPictureWidth As Single Dim sPictureHeight As Single Dim sSlideWidth As Single Dim sSlideHeight As Single Dim sScaleFactor As Single ' Show Insert Picture from File dialog ' Note: PowerPoint 97 does not provide a built-in ' dialog to do this. SendKeys "%IPF", True

' Set oPicture to the shape range, which will be the ' inserted picture On Error GoTo ErrorHandler Set oPicture = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange ' Get current picture width and height sPictureWidth = oPicture.Width sPictureHeight = oPicture.Height ' Get slide width and height sSlideWidth = ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideWidth sSlideHeight = ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideHeight ' Get scale factor that will fit picture to slide If sPictureWidth > sPictureHeight Then sScaleFactor = sSlideWidth / sPictureWidth Else sScaleFactor = sSlideHeight / sPictureHeight End If   ' Make picture a little smaller than slide sScaleFactor = sScaleFactor - 0.15 ' Resize picture oPicture.ScaleHeight CSng(sScaleFactor), msoTrue oPicture.ScaleWidth CSng(sScaleFactor), msoTrue ' Move the picture to the center of the slide, ' and select it   With ActivePresentation.PageSetup oPicture.Left = (.SlideWidth \ 2) - _ (oPicture.Width \ 2) oPicture.Top = (.SlideHeight \ 2) - _ (oPicture.Height \ 2) oPicture.Select End With

ErrorHandler:

End Sub

Sub Auto_Open

'************************************************************* ' Macro Auto_Open ' ' Purpose: ' The Auto_Open macro stores initialization code for an add-in and is ' automatically executed when the add-in is loaded by PowerPoint. The ' following code ' '  1. adds a command bar (Insert Picture) to the CommandBars '     collection and then adds a button to the command bar. When the '     user clicks the button, the code in InsertPictureToFitSlide '     runs to perform the insert, resize, and group/ungroup. ' '  2. adds a menu command (Insert picture to fit slide) to the Tools '     menu. When the user presses Alt+I,N, the code in '     InsertPictureToFitSlide runs as described above. ' ' Please refer to Knowledge Base article Q163461, "PPT: How to Create a ' PowerPoint 97 Add-In," for information on creating a PPT add-in. ' '*************************************************************

' For adding custom command bar Dim oInsertPictureCommandBar As CommandBar Dim oInsertPictureControl As CommandBarButton ' For adding new entry to Tools menu Dim oNewToolsControl As CommandBarControl Dim oToolsMenu As CommandBars ' Create a new command bar and add a command button to it   Set oInsertPictureCommandBar = _ CommandBars.Add(Name:="Insert Picture", _       Position:=msoBarRight) oInsertPictureCommandBar.Visible = True Set oInsertPictureControl = CommandBars("Insert Picture").Controls _ .Add(Type:=msoControlButton)

With oInsertPictureControl .FaceId = 1362 .OnAction = "InsertPictureToFitSlide" .TooltipText = "Insert picture to fit slide" .Caption = "Insert Picture" .DescriptionText = "Inserts a picture and resizes " & _ "it to fill the slide" .Visible = True End With ' Add a new command to the Tools menu Set oToolsMenu = Application.CommandBars ' Create the menu choice. The choice is created in the first ' position in the Tools menu. Set oNewToolsControl = oToolsMenu("Tools").Controls.Add _ (Type:=msoControlButton, _                    Before:=1)

' Name the command. oNewToolsControl.Caption = "I&nsert picture to fit slide" ' Connect the menu choice to your macro. The OnAction property ' should be set to the name of your macro. oNewToolsControl.OnAction = "InsertPictureToFitSlide"

End Sub

Sub Auto_Close

'************************************************************* ' Macro Auto_Close ' ' Purpose: ' The Auto_Close macro is executed when an add-in is unloaded by ' PowerPoint. The Auto_Close macro stores clean-up code. The following ' code removes the command bar that was added in the Auto_Open Macro ' and the command that was added to the Tools menu. ' '*************************************************************

' For deleting custom command bar Dim oBar As CommandBar ' For deleting command from Tools menu Dim oControl As CommandBarControl Dim oToolsMenu As CommandBars ' Delete the custom Insert Picture command bar For Each oBar In CommandBars If (oBar.BuiltIn = False) And _ (oBar.Name = "Insert Picture") Then oBar.Delete End If   Next    ' For Each oBar ' Delete the Insert Picture command from the Tools menu Set oToolsMenu = Application.CommandBars ' Loop through the commands on the Tools menu For Each oControl In oToolsMenu("Tools").Controls ' Check to see whether the command exists If oControl.Caption = _ "I&nsert picture to fit slide" Then ' Check to see whether action setting is set to            ' ChangeView. If oControl.OnAction = _ "InsertPictureToFitSlide" Then ' Remove the command from the menu. oControl.Delete End If       End If    Next oControl   ' For Each oControl End Sub  On the Debug menu, click Compile VBAProject. On the File menu click Close and Return to Microsoft PowerPoint. In PowerPoint click Save As from the File menu, and save the presentation as InsertPicture.ppt .</li> On the File menu click Save As, and save the presentation as a PowerPoint add-in (.ppa).</li> On the File menu, click Close.</li> On the Tools menu click Add-Ins.</li> Click Add New.</li> Click to select InsertPicture.ppa, then click OK.</li></ol>
