Default powerpoint slides in pixels?

How can I change the page settings from cm to pixels?

Is it at all possible in all versions? (my version at work is from 2003 but
my own is 2007)

Change your Windows settings to metric rather than inches (Control Panel,
Regional and Language Settings or whatever they've renamed it in Vista to
confuse the innocent)

Same in all versions.

Imagine if everything was measured in pixels

New York to CA 20,233,333,120 pixels

1/4 Pixels with cheese

36 pixels per voxel

the mind boggles

20,000 pixels of milk

That's the plan.

It may be a litte confusing out of context. The FAQ explains the same
thing TAJ did earlier ... for full slide images, you want the image
size (in pixels) to match the projector's max resolution.

This other trick is just a quickie way of working out how large an
image should be (in pixels) if it'll be smaller than full slide size.

Frankly, it's mostly for the precision-driven types. For most
reasonable purposes, approximation is good enough.

'Bout 1/4 slide wide, projecting at 1024x768, 1024's about 1000, 1000/4
is 250, slosh in a bit o' lagniappe and call it 300 pixels wide.

Or less. Or more. Depends on how many DPM (DPK) you're working at.


1/4 Pixels with cheese

36 pixels per voxel

the mind boggles


The mind pixilates?


20,000 pixels of milk


... on the wall, 20,000 pixels of milk
Take one down, pass it around,
19,999 pixels of milk on the wall.

This could be a very long day ...

I was just trying to figure out how changing Windows' Regional Settings to
metric would get you to pixels. I looked there, but I didn't see anything
that jumped out at me.

Ah. Well.

There's a reason for that, you know.

To the original poster -- changing Windows settings to metric rather than
inches won't help you change your PowerPoint display or page settings to
pixels. Besides, I think if you're wanting to go from CM to PIXEL, you're
probably already using metric settings.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to change your PPT page setup from CM to
PIXEL. I don't know how to force PPT to actually show pixels as the unit of
measurement But I'm curious -- why do you need to do this?

Sorry about that. I misread your question AND got it mixed up with another
conversation. Echo's correct; you can't set regional settings to pixels and you
can't set PPT measurements to pixels.

In fact, it wouldn't really make sense; the size of something in pixels will
depend on the system you play a presentation back on.




Change your Windows settings to metric rather than inches (Control Panel,
Regional and Language Settings or whatever they've renamed it in Vista to

Same in all versions.
