Is it possible to resize slides?

Hi,

I have a template that I use for my e-learning to keep a consistent look and feel, and because I have a few advanced actions set up.  For one project, I need to slightly adjust the height of the slides.  Is this possible?  I want to keep all the slides, and their associated objects and actions, just resize them so that I can fit a little more on screen.

Hoping this is possible, and that someone knows a way this can be done, but a cursory search on Google and in the UI of Captivate didn't reveal anything.

I'm using Cp5.5 but can upgrade or downgrade if required.  Thanks all!

    Did you try Modify, Rescale? Be careful when choosing options to avoid quality loss, because CP is all about bitmap. It would be have been better to rescale the template before adding additional objects.

    Thanks Lilybiri, that's very helpful.  I was hoping that Cp would resize the slides, and not the graphic objects, but as you said, it treats them all the same so there is quality loss and distortion (since I'm keeping the width the same, but amending the height).

    However, this is still a viable solution for me, because the main thing I didn't want to have to do was recreate all the advanced actions again, and recreate the associated click boxes, etc.  So I'll resize and then just re-add all the graphics and start from there.

    Thanks very much for your help!

    No, there is an option that you can uncheck 'Rescale objects', both for ' If new size is smaller/larger'. Perhaps you'll have to move some objects in that case but you'll not have the distortion in that case;
