Click the “Page Setup” button in the Page Setup group to open a dialog box. Click the “Slides sized for” box to display a list of formats, including the “Letter Paper (8.5x11 in)” and “Ledger Paper (11.17 in)” layouts. Click your preferred slide size.
Note: Unlike Word document pages, PowerPoint slides don't have margins that you can adjust to change the slide layout. Your slide stretches from edge to edge. When you print the slides, printer limitations can result in a white edge around the slides. However, you can change the margins inside Text Boxes and Shapes.
To align objects to the slide:
To select multiple objects at once, hold the Shift key while you click. From the Format tab, click the Align command, then select Align to Slide. Click the Align command again, then select one of the six alignment options. The objects will align based on the option you selected.Remove the border
- Select the text box or shape border that you want to remove.
- Under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Shape Styles group, click Shape Outline, and then click No Outline.
Print your PowerPoint slides, handouts, or notes
- Select File > Print.
- For Printer, select the printer you want to print to.
- For Settings, select the options you want: Slides: From the drop-down, choose to print all slides, selected slides, or the current slide.
- For Copies, select how many copies you want to print.
- Select Print.
If you turn "Scale to fit" off, PowerPoint sends the slide at its current PowerPoint Slide Size to the printer with no scaling. It centers the slide on the paper and that's it. If the Slide Size is smaller than the paper, you get a small slide centered on the paper.
Cheap insurance, in other words. As a curiosity more than a practical matter, PPT can theoretically (*theoretically* mind you) handle up to 2,147,483,647 or so slides. At least, it can count that high.
To create a poster slide, create a new slide (with nothing on it), then go to File/Page Setup. Select “Slide sized for: Custom” and change the measurements to the size of your poster in inches (i.e., 3' x 4' would be 36” x 48”).
The maximum size of a PowerPoint slide, presentation or slide show is 5,376 by 5,376 pixels.

1. To create a poster slide, create a new slide (with nothing on it), then go to File/Page Setup. Select “Slide sized for: Custom” and change the measurements to the size of your poster in inches (i.e., 3' x 4' would be 36” x 48”).
Click on the Design tab and them click on Page Size on the right of the screen. Select Custom Slide Size to see the slide size pop up window. Confirm the width and the height. Go to the File menu and scroll down to Page Setup.
The frame aspect ratio is easily computed from the pixel resolution of a video. For HD video the two common pixel resolutions are 1440x1080 and 1920x1080. 1440x1080 equates to a 4:3 frame aspect ratio and 1920x1080 equates to a frame aspect ratio of 16:9.
If the image is half the size of the slide, the optimal resolution for screen should be cut to 1024/2 pixels wide and 768/2 pixels high. 2. How to calculate image size in PowerPoint?
Common resolutions in the 16:9 ratio are 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1280 x 720 pixels.
The frame aspect ratio describes the ratio between the width in pixels and height in pixels of each frame within the video. 1440x1080 equates to a 4:3 frame aspect ratio and 1920x1080 equates to a frame aspect ratio of 16:9.
Common resolutions in the 16:9 ratio are 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1280 x 720 pixels.
Okay, so when you open PowerPoint and start a new presentation, your slide size is set to the default which is 10 inches by 7.5 inches. This is also 1024 x 768 pixels at 96dpi. There are ways to widen the slide, make it smaller, and customize the dimensions to fit exactly what you're looking for.
The frame aspect ratio is easily computed from the pixel resolution of a video. 1440x1080 equates to a 4:3 frame aspect ratio and 1920x1080 equates to a frame aspect ratio of 16:9.
To create a Powerpoint presentation in 16 x 9, do the following:
- Open Powerpoint on your PC or Mac.
- From the top menu, (depending on the version of Powerpoint you have) select Design, then Page Setup OR File, then Page Setup, and change Slides sized for to: On-screen Show (16:9).
- Click OK.
“4:3” and “16:9” refers to the aspect ratio of the slide. But the actual size of a slide with the same aspect ratio can differ. A 4:3 slide is 33% wider than it is high. A 16:9 slide is 78% wider than it is high.
