Powerpoint resolution

[Abhishek Bagga]

Hi!
What is the resolution at which the PPT slide show runs since if I
exclusively assign the screen resolution through my code
it becomes large.
Does PPT change resolution during slideshow, or is that I am missing
something

It normally uses the current display resolution. That is, if my video system
is set to 1024x768, PowerPoint fills that area with my slides (or if my slides
are not in those proportions, it fills the screen in one dimension and leaves
black borders in the other to fill any unused space.

Some versions allow you to set a desired screen resolution; in that case, PPT
set the screen resolution to the desired size before beginning the show.

I can imagine that this might interact oddly with code that ALSO changes the
screen resolution.

I have checked it, according to my calculations, PPT takes 75% of the
resolution that is currently fixed for the system.
That is 75% of width and height of the actual system resolution

Let's back up. I was assuming that the presentation's running in fullscreen or
kiosk mode. Obviously that assumption is wrong. I guess you'll need to supply
a lot more information before we can make any sense of this.

How have you made these calculations, how have you started the presentation, in
what mode and so forth?
