SUMMARY
Although you can use the AddPicture method in a Visual Basic macro to insert an image on a PowerPoint slide, the AddPicture method requires you to specify the point size of the image. This article provides a sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro (Sub procedure) that imports an image in the correct size. This method does not require you to know the point size of the image in advance.

Sample Visual Basic Procedure
Sub ImportPictureAtSize()
Dim oSlide As Slide
Dim oPicture As Shape
' Set oSlide to the first slide in the presentation.
Set oSlide = ActiveWindow.Presentation.Slides(1)
' Set oPicture to the picture file on your computer. Set Link To
' File to false, Save With Document to true, and place it in the
' upper left-hand corner of the slide, sized to 1 by 1 points.
'
' NOTE: Before you run this code replace this text string:
' "Put image path here!"
' with the path to the image you want to import. For example:
' "c:\MyImage.bmp"
Set oPicture = oSlide.Shapes.AddPicture("C:\mcp.bmp", _
msoFalse, msoTrue, 1, 2, 3, 4)
' Now scale the picture to full size, with "Relative to original
' picture size" set to true for both height and width.
oPicture.ScaleHeight 1, msoTrue
oPicture.ScaleWidth 1, msoTrue
' Make sure that slide 1 is the active slide
ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide Index:=1
' Move the picture to the center of the slide. Select it.
With ActivePresentation.PageSetup
oPicture.Left = (.SlideWidth \ 2) - (oPicture.Width \ 2)
oPicture.Top = (.SlideHeight \ 2) - (oPicture.Height \ 2)
