title: What is the unit of measure for PowerPoint slides using VBA?
body: <p>I am using VBA to paste charts/graphs from Access to PowerPoint.  Once pasted, I am resizing them using VBA, but it does not allow me to use inches (even though when I do it manually through the shape Properties, the size values there are in inches).</p>
  
  <p>My question is what unit of measure is the number I use in VBA?  I assumed pixels and tried to convert using a 96 pixel per inch factor, but that wasn't just right.  Now I'm curious about whether it's based on my screen resolution?  I can quickly code it (through trial and error) to look good on my machine, but I worry then if somebody else runs it, and they have a different resolution, the slide will look different.  (Note that the graphs are having to fit within other shapes.)</p>
  
  <p>If it's not based on screen resolution, does anybody know the dimensions of a slide in whatever unit it's in?</p>
