Presentation to run in a 16:9 aspect ratio?

[Kurt Merkel]

My client is asking if this can be done... if so, how would I do it?...

Can you build a PowerPoint presentation or similar to run in a 16:9
aspect ratio for a plasma display at the show? It has to be very high
res. If it is built for wide screen viewing then it will not have to be
artificially stretched by the display.

Thank you, Kurt

Presentations are by default sized at a 4:3 ratio. You can re-size slides
by going to File > Page Setup in PowerPoint. You need to re-size the slides
so that the ratio of width:height is equal to 16:9.

Thank you Mickey, I'll give it a try!

Mickey's suggestion's the way to go, but it's best to do the page sizing BEFORE
you start creating the presentation.

If you create first, then resize, you're liable to distort images on the slides
or see things jump around in odd ways.
