Do one of the following:
Resize by dragging
- Position the mouse pointer over one of the sizing handles.
- To increase or decrease the size in one or more directions, drag the mouse
away from or toward the center. For
additional control, do any of the following:

Note By default, Microsoft
PowerPoint maintains the proportions (locks the aspect ratio) of the
movie as you drag.

To maintain the movie's height-to-width proportions, select the Lock

Do one of the following:
- Under Size and rotate, type a number or use the arrows to enter a
number in the Height and Width boxes.
