Aspect Ratio

[Guest]

How do I change the aspect ratio of my pps and ppt files from 4:3 to 16:9?

In a nutshell, you don't. PPT runs at whatever the current screen
resolution is. (Unless you have told it not to.) Does your video card have
a 16:9 output format? Many of them simply clip the top and bottom of the
image to make it appear they do.

How do I change the aspect ratio of my pps and ppt files from 4:3 to 16:9?

To make it fill a widescreen display totally, for instance?
You'd go to File, Page Setup and change the slide size to something
proportional to 16:9

Problem is, that's liable to distort your graphics.

This has some ideas to help with that:

Make screenshow fill a wide screen display
