So I asked a co-worker about the PowerPoint template, since it was supposedly her department that commissioned the thing.

Her: You mean the one where the pictures hang off the sides?
Me: Yeah
Her: Is it just me or does that drive you -
Both of us: totally freaking nuts.
Me: Want me to send you a copy when I crop out the excess?
Her: Please.

Current Mood: good

Question for those more versed in the ways of Powerpoint 2007 and/or 2010 than I:

Is there are a reason why you would design a slide template with the background pictures falling off of the sides of the slide? Like if you had a picture of a tree, but half of the picture of the tree rested on the slide, and the other half of the tree was on the side?

I ask because I've been given a template similar to this at work and my instinct is to simply crop the picture so I'm not constantly dealing with the overflow. But I think the template was designed in a later version of Powerpoint than we use (we're stuck in 2003... sigh). So I wanted to check to see if there was a reason for this before I did anything.

Anybody know?
