Thank you Steve!! You have no idea how many people I've contacted who have
not been able to solve my problem. I certainly knew about choosing the
current resolution - but I didn't realize that the Page Setup would affect
the screen.

Just one last question - when I change the Page Setup to my screen size - it
always changes to "Custom" and will not use this setting for "screenshow".
Is there any way to make the new custom setting the default for all screen
shows in the future?
