Why doesnt my powerpoint slide fit the screen in a slide show?

Question

My recent presentation fits on the slide, but when showing the presentation the right hand side of the slides was cut off.

When I checked in the normal view the content doesn't go over the slide, but does go up to the edge.

The presentation was well within the boundaries of the projector screen.

Can anyone tell me why it has been cut off when projected onto the screen.

Answer 1

Did you change computers? Meaning did you build the PP presentation on one computer and then take it to another computer to present it? Sometimes when you do this the fonts are different and it will react that way. If you are going to do this in the future make sure you use very standard fonts like Arial to eleviate the problem.

Another thing you can try is Select File, Page Set up. Make sure that the Slides sized for has On-screen show selected and that the margins aren't funky.

Other than that I cannot think of a reason why it's happening.

Good luck.
