Default picture size for insert picture

Hi,
I have MS Office 2007 and import pictures (usually jpegs) into slide shows.
Resizing each picture individually can be time-consuming to say the least. Is
there a way to set the default picture size for insertion onto the slide so
all pictures will be displayed as one size and location on the slide
regardless of original size?
Thanks in advance for your time and reply.

Maybe not the righyt answer: you can use Photo album (insertion)

Thanks Jean-Pierre, but the format of the photo album does not work with what
I am trying to accomplish.

Thanks Luc, but I was trying to avoid an additional purchase for what I hoped
was availble within PPT.
Does anyone know if this can be done within PPT 2007?

There are several options here:

BATCH IMPORT images into PowerPoint
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00050.htm

And while you can't set a default size, you can use our free StarterSet addin to
define an area into which you want to size pictures; once you've done that, you
simply select the picture (or any other shape/group of shapes) and click the
"hammer" button.

You can set it to size the picture as large as possible within the defined area
w/o distorting its shape, or to size it to the defined shape regardless.
