Using Projector with Microsoft PowerPoint®
Match your Microsoft PowerPoint® slides to the resolution of the rental lcd projector. Presentations look best when the slide size is the same as the projector’s native
resolution.
Microsoft PowerPoint defaults to a resolution of 720 by 540. To change it to 1,024 by 768, go to File: Page Setup and enter 14.22 and 10.66 inches for the width and height of on-screen slides. (For 800 by 600, enter 11.11 and 8.33 inches for the width and height.) Ignore the warning about exceeding your printer’s margins. If you can’t determine for certain what kind of projector you’ll be using, you’ll probably be OK using 1,024 by 768, which most projectors support.
