The measurements used in PowerPoint are more of a reference for relative
sizes during the design process rather then an actual display size. This is
because PowerPoint was designed to be a presentation software. The
presentations usually fill the screen, regardless of if it is a 13" diaginal
monitor or an 80' jumbo-tron. Therefore it is difficult to call for exact
measurements in the finished presentation display.
Will you be using this as a display, or as a printout? If it is for
printout, then there may be better solutions than PowerPoint (keeping exact
screen/paper measurements).
