How to Create Reports with PowerPoint Slide Dimensions in Bold Reports

Overview

Bold Reports provides a Custom Paper Size option that allows you to create reports that match PowerPoint slide dimensions for seamless export. By setting the paper size to the standard PowerPoint slide dimensions (13.33 × 7.5 inches), your reports will align correctly when exported to PowerPoint (PPT) format.

To configure this, use the Custom Paper Size feature in Bold Reports. This option gives you full control over the exported file dimensions.
