Set pan and zoom
With the Slide Show dialog box, you can customize panning and zooming in each slide. You determine the start point
and end point by positioning the bounding boxes on an area of a photo. The boxes are resizable; the smaller you make
a box, the more dramatic the pan and zoom effect becomes. You can also add additional pan and zoom start and end
points to a slide. The end point of the previous pan and zoom marks the beginning of the next pan and zoom.
Note: You can use pan and zoom on photos, but not video files.

2 In the Slide Show dialog box Properties panel, select Enable Pan & Zoom.
3 The Start bounding box has a green outline. In the main preview window, drag a corner of the bounding box to
resize it.
4 Drag the Start box to the area of the photo where you want panning and zooming to begin. Resize the box until it
surrounds the area you want to focus on.
