Set any shape to the same height or same width as first selected shape in PowerPoint. Or set both same height and width as first selected shape on your slide in a single click.

One of the most frequently used PPT Productivity PowerPoint add-in features! Quickly make shapes the same size in PowerPoint. The same height and same width buttons let you quickly align width and height to match any subsequently selected shapes to the first shape selected in PowerPoint. PPT Productivity has three feature buttons:

• Match height of first shape selected in PowerPoint

• Match width of first shape selected in PowerPoint

• Match height and width of first shape selected in PowerPoint

Easily resize multiple shapes or objects at the same time. The first shape selected will determine the height and or width to be matched. You can also make images the same size in PowerPoint using this feature.

The Same height, Same width and Same Height+Width features are part of the Resize group on the Format Toolbar.

PPT Productivity's Copy Position, Size and Paste Position, Size features for PowerPoint are a dynamic time saving duo! Quickly position a shape in the same place across PowerPoint slides by setting the position, size (and column sizes for tables) of a selected shape or table.

Copy Shape Position remembers the preferred location or size. Paste Shape Position applies that location or size to each shape to be adjusted. Together these features put shapes or objects in the same position across multiple PowerPoint slides. Easily align objects on different slides.

The Copy/ paste position, size features are included in the Position feature group on the Format Toolbar. You can also use Copy, Paste position size feature to copy the position of an object or image on a slide, delete the object and insert a new object then paste the new object to the same position as the original. Great if you need to update images in your presentation.

NOTE: In January 2023 the Copy, paste button was removed and replaced it with the new Position & Size Painter. However due to popular demand the Copy, Paste button was returned from late March 2023. If you are a Power Tools user and cannot see the Copy, Paste button on your toolbar, please download the latest version.

The Resize features let you incrementally resize one or more shapes on your PowerPoint slide, to make shapes, objects, icons or images larger or smaller.

There are three resize features:

• Resize 110%: Scale selected shapes to enlarge by 10%
• Resize 90%: Scale selected shapes to shrink by 10%
• Custom scale: enter a value to specify the rescale amount

Continued pressing of the scale up or scale down buttons will progressively resize your selected shapes, objects or images.

FEATURE ENHANCEMENT: The Resize features were enhanced in August 2023 to support resizing of objects across multiple slides. When you select multiple slides then click a resize feature, all objects on each selected slide will be resized (objects only - text is not resized).

PPT Productivity's Slice Shapes feature lets you split a selected shape into multiple shapes in PowerPoint. Select a shape on your PowerPoint slide, then the Slide Shapes feature button. You will be prompted to enter how many copies of the shape you want to insert. The feature duplicates the original shape in multiple mini shapes.

The new shapes added to your PowerPoint slide will fit within the largest height and width boundary of the original shape, in a grid layout. This means if you are slicing a square or rectangle the effect is that the original shape has been 'sliced up'. If you slice a circle, the slice feature will add circles to your page in a grid that aligns to the height and width of the original circle.

PPT Productivity's Multiply Shapes feature lets you duplicate selected shapes into multiple shapes in PowerPoint.

You can specify how many copies of the shape to add - shapes will be inserted to your PowerPoint slide in multiple rows and columns. For example, add a person icon to your PowerPoint slide then multiply it to 10 or 100 people, to represent data sets. If you have text in the selected shape you can choose to either include or exclude it from the multiplied shapes.

The Stretch shapes in PowerPoint features let you stretch selected shapes on your PowerPoint slide to match the first shape selected. You can also stretch shapes to fill space between objects, so that selected shapes meet.

The stretch features lets you stretch selected objects in PowerPoint, to match the far edge of the first selected object. You can stretch shapes to match the left or right hand side of first selected shape. You can also stretch shapes to fill the gap between the shapes, so that they meet.

The feature is useful when you have a PowerPoint slide with shapes of different sizes, but you need them to align to a common start or end point (e.g., useful for Gantt chart diagrams where workstreams start at different points but all end on the same date).

There are separate feature buttons on the Format toolbar (which can also be assigned custom shortcut keys). The options include the Stretch shapes in PowerPoint features:

• Stretch left / Extend to left edge: Stretch shapes left stretches the selected shapes to match the left hand boundary of the first selected shape on your PowerPoint slide (so the shapes align at the left hand boundary)
• Stretch right / Extend to right edge: Stretch shapes right stretches the selected shapes to match the right hand boundary of the first selected shape on your PowerPoint slide (so the shapes align at the right hand boundary)
• Stretch top: Stretch shapes top stretches the selected shapes to match the top boundary of the first selected shape on your PowerPoint slide (stretch up, so the shapes align at the top boundary)
• Stretch bottom: Stretches shapes bottom stretches the selected shapes to match the bottom boundary of the first selected shape on your PowerPoint slide (stretch down, so the shapes align at the bottom boundary)

There are also Stretch shapes to Fill gaps features - these buttons increase the size of selected shapes to remove any gap between the shapes:

• Fill left: Stretches the selected shapes to match the right most boundary of the first selected shape on your PowerPoint slide (so the shapes meet)
• Fill right: Stretches the selected shapes to match the left most boundary of the first selected shape on your PowerPoint slide (so the shapes meet)
• Fill top: Stretches the selected shapes upwards to match the bottom most boundary of the first selected shape on your PowerPoint slide (so the shapes meet)
• Fill bottom: Stretches the selected shapes downwards to match the top most boundary of the first selected shape on your PowerPoint slide (so the shapes meet)

Quickly change margins in PowerPoint Text Boxes and Table Cell margins, using the PPT Productivity Change Margins Toggle feature. Choose from Normal, None, Narrow and Wide margins.

How to change margins in PowerPoint? PPT Productivity makes it easy. Adjust margins in PowerPoint text boxes or table cells with the Change Margins Toggle. Click the button repeatedly to cycle quickly through the options.

Great to quickly adjust margins on a PowerPoint table to optimize size, or when trying to fit text in a shape you don't want to resize.

In standard PowerPoint, margin settings are each controlled separately for left, right, top and bottom. Accessing the standard PowerPoint margin settings is via right click > Format Shape and adjusting each value. This can be 6 or more clicks, plus multiple attempts to choose your preferred margins.

PPT Productivity's adjust margins feature makes it faster and is a great timesaving shortcut to set margins in PowerPoint quickly.
