Cool! I'm glad I could help. Thanks for posting back.

If I'm understanding you correctly, there's no need to use the Page Setup/Slide
Size setting for your screen show (ie, Slide Show, Set Up Show, Resolution)
setting. Use Current should be fine, so long as the current hardware setup matches
the proportions of your page setup. If not, the worst thing that'll happen is that
it'll "letterbox" ... put black bands top and bottom like your tv does with
widescreen movies.
I'm not positive, but I think "Use Current Resolution" is the default slide show
setting. Anybody want to disabuse me of that dream? ;-)
[later, after reading your other post]
Ah. NOW I get it. Start a new presentation using any template you like.
W/o adding any content, change the page size and then do File, Save As. Choose
Presentation Design (*.POT) as the Save As type, give it a name then save it in the
location PPT defaults to.
Now all you need to do is start a new presentation based on your template and
you're good to go. Also, it varies by version but you can save your template as
Blank Presentation.POT and it'll become the new default when you start a new blank
presentation.
