Default PowerPoint Xp


Hello,

I was looking at the (sample) ICDL questions on presentation packages (Powerpoint)

It tells to change the width of a picture in a presentation from 1 cm to 2 cm. But the measurements are in inches in powerpoint and after searching how to change the measurements units, I did not found it.

In Microsoft word, there is the option but has anyone seen it in powerpoint?


thanks for any suggestion

The units that PowerPoint uses depend on your regional settings in Windows. I would think that such a test will be adapted to your location, or that you can interpret 'from 1 to 2 cm' as 'double the size'. But if you need to, you can always simply change the regional settings temporarily.
