MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2007blank strips eaither side
I have a slide show displaying on a 42 inch screen, windows xp displays fine and fills screen but when i start slide show, either side i have a six inch black strip. The slides are in landscape and i do not see any options to fill screen. Any help appreciated. You will probably have to build your presentation to fit the 16x9 format. Taking you original presentation and changing the page size will not do it, as it squishes all the material. You will have to start with a 16x9 presentation and re insert all your slide information.

Powerpoint won't distort your slides to make them force-fill a screen of different proportions. As a test, start a new presentation, use File, Slide Setup to set the slide size to something that matches your display's proportions, then see if the resulting slides fill the screen. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thank you all very much. >I have a slide show displaying on a 42 inch screen, windows xp displays >fine and fills screen but when i start slide show, either side i have a six >inch black strip.
