margins decreased for 11 X 17 printing

[Deannag11]

I'm trying to print on 11 X 17 inch paper, a PPT presentation. When I do, the
info sits right in the middle horizontally...with about 1.5 inch margins on
each side, and just a small margin on top. I need to sort of stretch the
image, or basically decrease my margins, but I'm not sure how to do that. I
don't want the fonts stretched, and want it to look normal, not stretched,
but smaller margins on left and right. Any suggestions would be SO
helpful!!!!

I'm confused.

You have wide margins on the sides.

You have a "small" margin on the top.

You need to "sort of stretch" the image, but you don't want your fonts
stretched, and you don't want the image to look stretched.

Without more room on the top margin, you cannot stretch an image (of the
slide) proportionately to fill the sides. But you can try File | Print and
check the "scale to fit paper" option. That may do exactly what you need.
