Default increase ZOOM in "Slide Sorter" view in Powerpoint - beyond the 10

I need to be able to somehow show MULTIPLE powerpoint slides up on a page at
one time (from 10 - 30 versus 1). I have not found another program to do
this and just went out and paid for office 2007... wishing that the newer
version allowed me to go past the set 100% zoom in @ the Slide Sorter view.

What I am looking for is something just like the Slider Sorter view in
Powerpoint but currently at 100% I cannot see anything on the slides. I need
to be able to zoom up to 150%. Is that ever going to be a possibility.

Any suggestions. Thanks.

Hello,

There is a sneaky way to work around this. Double the size of your slides
in the page setup, and that will double the size of them when you view the
slide sorter. Don't forget to turn this off if you need to.

Here are macros to increase the size to 150% and revert to normal afterwards

Sub sizeto150()
With ActivePresentation.PageSetup
..SlideSize = ppSlideSizeCustom
..SlideHeight = 12 * 72
..SlideWidth = 17.25 * 72
End With
End Sub

Sub normalsize()
ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideSize = ppSlideSizeOnScreen
End Sub
