unable to resize pasted excel metafile using "Format Picture" Size

W

webbuzzard

After pasting a metafile or bitmap of an excel page into powerpoint, it is
often too large for the page. Rather than dragging a corner, I like to right
click on the image, and select the Size tab. There I lock the aspect ratio,
and change the height or width. This worked fine in pre-2003 powerpoint, but
doesn't in 2003. When I do this, my result is four small "Corner" circles
with a tiny dot in the middle. This is my image at 0%. No matter what i
change the percentage to, it keeps going back to this tiny image. I can
resize from this manually, but the aspect ratio isn't locked.

I use this because this is the easiest way I've found to size multiple
objects similarly.
