Powerpoint change picture without changing cropping area

Question

I´ve a cropped picture in a powerpoint layer and I want to change the picture without changing the size of the cropping area. If I change the image by clicking "change picture" the cropping area resizes too, to show the whole picture. How can I do that without changing the cropping area?

In Apple Keynote you only have to drag the picture you want to the cropping area and you only have to align it.

Answer 1

From my experience, I'm afraid you have to set the crop manually by "Format Picture" -"Crop" to remain the same cropping area when you replace a picture.

Answer 2

This isn't much help, but Libreoffice will do this. Crop, resize, then select your image and re-insert a new image - formatting will be the same, perfect for when you want to quickly redo formatting for same sized images.
