Thanks for your reply.
The fact that it's a 1024*768 display doesn't make it a 4:3 display, it just
doesn't have square pixels.
The problem isn't the graphics card, it's the fact that I want to force
powerpoint output to use the exact resolution of the screen,
and thus distort the show on a regular 4:3 screen.
OK, now I see what you mean. Fortunately for most, unfortunately for you,
PowerPoint's always going to fit the current slide size to the current display
resolution *without* distorting anything.
You might be able to get around this by doing the distortion yourself. If the
presentation doesn't have animations, you could export all of the slides as
images from your 16:9 presentation then import those into a new 4:3-sized
presentation and resize each image to fill the slide (forcing distortion). Our
free StarterSet addin includes a tool that would help with this; it can make
the resizing a one-click operation. http://www.pptools.com/starterset/
Another approach that might work:
Start a new 4:3 presentation using the same template as your existing 16:9 one.
Put the 4:3 one in Slide or Normal view, the other in Slide Sorter view.
Add a blank slide to the 4:3 presentation.
Select a slide in the 16:9 pres in sorter view, press Ctrl+C
Switch to the 4:3 presentation and choose Edit, Paste Special, Slide.
Repeat for each slide in the original show
The key here is selecting/copying a slide in SORTER view and pasting it into
SLIDE/NORMAL view in the 4:3 presentation.

Hi all,
I spent most of the weekend searching for a solution to force powerpoint
to
use every pixel on the screen.
I made my presentation on 16:9 slides (32cm*18cm), to display on a 16:9
plasma.
However, since the max res of the plasma is 1024*768, it leaves a black
bar
top and down, because the graphic card of course thinks it's a 4:3
display.
I can't get my graphic card to do the job.
If the resolution of the plasma display is 1024x768, then it *is* a 4:3
display. If that's forced to display at a 16:9 physical size, it'd result
in
distortion, no?
But if the display is actually 16:9 (pixels as well as physical
dimensions),
you might need a graphics card that supports 16:9 ratio displays. As a
test,
try a laptop with a wide screen if you can locate one.
BUT, if powerpoint can be forced to use the real pixelarea (1024*768),
then
that would be the perfect solution.
A bit like "exactfit" in flash.
Or another way to put it : do not maintain aspect ratio.
I thank everyone for their help in this matter.
