Hi All,

I am aware that this is probably not really a PowerPoint Question but I am
hoping someone can help.

I have an HP Compaq6820s notebook with a 17" screen. I am running Office
2007 and a screen resolution of 1280x768 with XP Pro as the operating system.
The graphics card is an ATI Radeon and the drivers are up to date.

When I run a PowerPoint presentation with the card set to "clone" the output
is the widescreen output reflecting the notebook screen which many data
projectors cannot handle.
The other option is to set the card to "extend" and this results in having
to manipulate the output onto the right hand side of the screen as "extend"
is too wide for a "standard" desktop. The other answer is to cycle through
the modes until the notebook screen is switched off and I then have a
"standard" desktop image projected by the data projector. This is also far
from ideal.
Does anybody have any suggestions? The possible solution may be to somehow
set the notebook screen yo a "standard" size when using PowerPoint, but I am
not sure how to so this or if it will be practical.

Thanks in advance,

Bill
