Have you tried : ( I am a 2 weeks old beginner )
1. Insert > Photo Album > under Picture layout, set it as " Fit to slide " ?
2. Slide Show > Resolution > click the top pointer and select 1280 X 800 from the drop down box ?

I'm suffering a similar dilemma. First off, I'm using PP 2007. I was trying
to do a slide (picture) show with 35mm format. All of my photos were 4X6
format (1280X854 pixels). I was finally able to do something by physically
changing each slide after it was imported. A very time-consuming task.
I decided to follow the above advice and use 5X8 format (10 X 16) This
required editing the photos to 1280 X 800 - not too much of a problem with
most of them. But again - time consuming.
Then I attempted to "Insert Photo Album." I first changed the Page Setup to
10 X 16. Then I imported the photos. Imagine my chagrin when I found that the
program arbitrarily changed the format back to 3 X 4. It does this every
time, no matter what I try. So then, just for drill, I changed the Page Setup
again to 10 X 16 and told the program to Fit to Slide. It changed the page
format okay, but it stretched all of the slides horizontally to fit the width
of the screen but DID NOT stretch them vertically accordingly. What now?

The dilemma with this is that if you change aspect on an existing
presentation, any photos will stretch. Type will not. You'll have to either
start over, or strip the presentation of all its photos and copy/paste photos
from the 4x3 version to the widescreen.

If you shrink it back to 4x3, it will squeeze the photos, but if you show
the 16x10 show on a 4x3 laptop, you'll get the top/bottom letterbox.
