OK, so I’m mainly posting this because it drives me mad every time I use a different PC and can’t remember how to turn it off. You know how, when you have a nicely-arranged slide containing plots, text and tables, and all you want to do is paste in the piece-de-resistance – a plot you made for a presentation a few weeks ago? Invariably, Powerpoint will promptly resize all your beautiful objects so it can wedge in the new one, thus rending pointless hours (minutes) of work.

There’s a simple solution! However, it’s not where you might expect it to be. Go to Tools> AutoCorrect Options… and then unclick “Automatic layout for inserted objects.” And lo, it will stop bothering you.
