Re: change default page size in PowerPoint (office xp)

I'd use File|Print and check the "scale to fit page" box.

Dear Paul,

Is there any way to print out the original page without this stretching
occurring? When I tried this, not only was the page stretched, but also
the
text and images no longer lined up?

Thanks,
Mike

Jim,

Keep in mind that when you change the screen size, presentations created
in
the original screen size will now be stretched to fit the new screen
size.
the slight changes in proportion that you have made may not be quite as
noticeable as if you had changed to a 16:9 aspect ratio for a wide screen
look. However, presentations created in the new page size will come out
just
fine. Many people have been disappointed when they try to show
presentations
previously created in other size formats and wonder why the people in a
photo image are now short and fat or tall and skinny.

In PowerPoint XP, how do I change the page size to default to 11 x 8.5
instead of the 10 x 7.5 it currently is set at?
