When creating a slide presentation, I often scale images that they cover the entire slide and then some. But with that, they also obscure slide boundary lines, so when positioning text labels later, I’m not sure they are placed correctly. I have to constantly press “Start from current slide” button and check everything looks fine.
Is there a way to just display slide boundaries on top of everything, like Inkscape does?
I don’t know a direct solution.
Draw a rectangle (frame) as large as the slide.
Select the color and line thickness of the line (border).
Click on the edge of the rectangle to mark it.
Click on Keep ratio in the dialog.
And click on Protect position and size.
Insert an image and drag it to overlap the slide.
Click on the image and select Arrange > Send to the back in the context menu.
You should now see the slide size (frame) and slide content on the image.
First prepare a slide with the rectangle and then select in the menu
‘Slide > Duplicate slide’ as often as you need.
