  • Navigate the cursor to Grid and Guides
  • Left click on Display grid on screen.

To resize your file, go to the design menu and choose slide styles on the right.

  • On a PC: Click Custom Size, enter in your specific dimensions, and click OK.
  • On a Mac: Click on Page Set Up. Choose slide sized for Custom in the drop-down menu and then enter in your width and length. Click OK.

When customizing rack cards, you can duplicate the slides for printing in PowerPoint before saving as a PDF.
