Entry: Picture Tools tab → Size area → Width box

  1. Select the image you want to resize.
  2. Click the Picture Tools tab.
  3. Find the Width box in the Size area.
  4. Enter the width value you need in centimeters, or use the control to fine-tune it.
  5. Press Enter to apply the new width.

Success Check

  • What you should see: the image width updates to the value you entered.
  • What you can do next: continue adjusting height, position, or other picture formatting.

Notes

  • Common issue: if the image is not selected first, the Picture Tools tab will not appear.
  • Limitation: if the image shape changes after width adjustment, check whether Lock aspect ratio should be enabled.

2. Set image size precisely in the Size and Position pane

Entry: Picture Tools tab → dialog launcher in the Size area → Size and Position pane

  1. Select the image and click the Picture Tools tab.
  2. Click the dialog launcher in the lower-right corner of the Size area.
  3. Open the Size and Position pane.
  4. In the Size and Properties tab, set Height, Width, Scale Height, and Scale Width.
  5. Turn on Lock aspect ratio or relative-to-original-size settings as needed.
  6. If you want slide-fit related adjustment options, review the available pane settings; if you want the original size back, click Reset.

Success Check

  • What you should see: the right-side pane shows picture size settings.
  • What you can do next: continue adjusting scale or restore the original size in the same pane.
