I suddenly find myself needing to display content on a series of 16:9 HDTV
units, but the computers I'm using to project don't support 16:9 resolutions.
At the default settings, my TVs are stretching the picture to fill the screen
(rectangular pixels).

Images can be scaled by the user trivially, but tediously. Text not so
easily. Can Powerpoint automatically scale the presentation so a 800:600
image looks correct being stretched on a 720p display?
