the box’s size

iv. Import Mode: Located on the Options tab, the picture’s Import Mode determines how,
and whether, the picture will be able to be resized after it is imported into your presentation
 Best fit import mode allows you to resize the picture and keep the aspect ratio. Best fit
is the default import mode. A black area adds to the side of the video to keep the aspect
ratio correct
 Stretch import mode allows you to resize the picture, but it does not keep the aspect
ratio. The picture stretches across the resizing square. Pictures imported in Stretch
import mode are often distorted
 Normal import mode imports the picture exactly. You are not able to enlarge the
picture, but you can crop the picture to allow only certain parts of the picture to display.
The picture anchors to the left side of the resizing square. You cannot transform the
picture itself; only the resizing square that contains the picture

Dock left: Aligns the picture with the left side of the selector box
