Effect of page setup

[Gus Porteners]

Experimenting with different page set-ups, even going down as far as 4cm
x 3 cm, seemed to have no effect on the resultant show. Am I correct in
assuming that as far as the screen is concerned page set-up is akin to a
zoom ratio, changing pixel size, and only affecting the print size?
Just curious

Going into slide show with 10" x 7.5" and 40" x 30"(after the adjustment)
will show no difference. It does affect your printing size, but not how it
will look in the slide show. You will notice that if you zoom in to 100% in
40" x 30", it will look a lot bigger. If you want to make the images, objects
and text to look smaller, you can choose to reduce the size of all the
images, objects and text.

Gus,

Your question is similar to one that came in just after your post.
If the aspect ratio of height vs. width stays the same it will be as you say
changing zoom ratio. If either the height or width is changed to a different
ratio then presentations created in the old size will be skewed to appear
taller and skinnier or shorter and fatter when viewed with the new page
settings. However, new presentations created in this new screen size will
appear correctly when shown in the new set-up. The change where this is
noticed the most is when as page set-up has been changed to a 16:9
widescreen format when the original presentation was created for 4:3....

Thank you Paul.
I had noticed the deformation of pictures when changing to a different
ratio page setup. I have not found a use for this deformation feature
yet, but who knows.

Thank you. Now I have things to think about!

The deformation of text and graphics that results from changing page set-up
is not really a feature, it's simply viewing a presentation created in one
page set-up but viewed in another. If you create a page with the set-up at
4cm X 3cm and then view it in that set-up, everything looks fine.

The only use I have found for deforming an image is when I want to see what
I might look like 6 inches taller and 30 pounds lighter (definitely and
improvement)
