Re: How do I make a slide show fit the entire screen on a wide scr

Well, first of all, I can select 10 X 16 as the page format. I also select
"Fit To Slide" in the Picture Layout pane. the Slide Show Resolution DOES NOT
provide the choice of 1280 X 800 or any other 10 X 16 format. All of the
choices there are 4 X 3 format. And that is the main issue. No matter what I
set, when I insert the photo album, the program defaults the page layout to 4
X 3 format.

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.

In XP or 2003, set your Page Setup for 16 (width) and 10 (height). In
2007,
use the 16:10 option in the same Page Setup dialog. This is the most
common
aspect ratio for widescreen computers on the market as opposed to 16:9
for
movies and other large screen applications...........TD

I use both PP XP and PP 2007. I now have a wide screen LCD and want
my slide
to fill the screen when the show is played. How do I make this
happen. I
know how to change aspect ratio on a picture but not the slide when
the show
runs. Get a black band on the top & bottom.
