Stretching slide to full 15.4" Widescreen view

[Andrew]

Does anyone know how to enable Powerpoint to stretch the Full Legnth of the screen, rather than having two solid black lines either side of the normal 15" screen size format. I assume many people are beginning to use 15.4" widescreen notebooks.

Thanks,
Andrew

You can change the slide dimensions through "File" | "Page Setup..." menu
item. Set up the dimensions to match the width-to-height ratio of the
widescreen monitor.

warning: this will screw up graphics, they get stretched

you must set up a new file and copy paste the page contents page by page

There's no way to get a single PPT presentation file to fill screen on multiple displays
of different proportions, though.

your turn to write a wishlist item
