Question : How could you resize & place images automatically in a PowerPoint file at a specific location on each slide?

This is related to "Can you create a PowerPoint file automatically with one image per page from a selected folder?"

The macro from the related question works well, but I'd like to know if could be modified so that it would:
- shrink the images 20% before placing them on the slide &
- place them 2" down from the top on each slide?
