What you are trying to do is not possible. You can make multiple placeholders, but you do not have to use all of them if a slide does not require it.įrom now on all new slides (with the chosen layout) will have the placeholders where you can insert a picture and they all will be cropped to auto fit the placeholder, or auto fill. Use the cursor to drag the picture to size and position it.Select 'Insert Placeholder' and choose Picture.Use View → Slide Master, then choose your layout.One way to do that is to use the 'Placeholder' in PowerPoint.
