I'm editing someone else's presentation in which there is a picture which has been cropped. I want to undo all the cropping and display the whole picture but there is no Reset button in the Crop page of the FormatPicture dialog. (There used to be in Powerpoint 2003.)
I have been trying to put zeros in the boxes under Crop Position but nothing seems to achieve the result I want.
Grateful for assistance.
PLEASE don't say I need to press Cntl-Z to undo cropping - this is a presentation I have inherited - there are none of my own actions I can undo.

Hi
Click on the picture to select it this will launch the picture tools tab, click Format and to the left in the adjustments group click the drop down arrow on the reset icon and select reset picture and size.
Thanks for this guidance.
Sliding the handles is a bit hit and miss, so I'm sad there isn't a simple Reset option which would set all crop borders back to the original image limits with a single click. I suppose Microsoft would call removing that option "progress".
This was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
This was really useful for me. Thank you very much.
I'm assuming the original was done in 2010.
Whether you can uncrop depends on whether the original user compresswed the images on save.
If they didn't select the image and in Picture Tools > Format on the ribbon clicki crop. If you can see a gray area where the cropped image should be just slide the crop handles.
If not the picture was compressed.
Assuming it was made in 2010 you might be able (ON A COPY) to change the extension to zip (or unzip with 7zip) and look in the PPT\Media folder in the zip file for the original image
