Powerpoint Problem

[Ken J]

I have a 4 year old Compaq with Office 97 that includes
Powerpoint. I just purchased an HP laptop for
presentations and installed Office 97 there as well. I
also installed Powerpoint viewer as a back up. I use the
presentations in my mortgage business and can't figure out
a problem. The desktop has a 17" screen and the laptop
has a 15" but the actual viewing size is about the same.
The presentation window on the laptop is about 1/2"
narrower than the desktop and for some reason the layout
of the Powerpoint presentation is narrower and the data is
overlapping. You can see paragraphs having the text on 4
lines on the laptop instead of 3 lines on the desktop as
well as overlapping data. It's like Powerpoint is trying
to condense the image on a slightly narrower screen. Any
ideas of what to do? Thanks in advance.

Try setting both computers to the SAME resolution, say 800X600 and see
if that is more to your liking.
