Usually, when a presentation is edited in a 4:3 format, it will be presented in that format, even to a 16:9 display. That is to present distortion and/or clipping of the displayed image . If a 16:9 layout proportion is selectable, that will often change some features of the presentation. In fact, I have had presentations that, because of the amount of text and bulleted lists, presented better in 4:3 even to a wider display. What I do personally, if I am traveling with a presentation and I don't know what the combination of presentation hardware and projector capabilities might be, is prepare both formats and use the one that works best using what is available. Now, to the reported problem. On the Master View of a fresh presentation with no background (the supplied Presentation Wizard backgrounds seem to be automatically fixed at about 23:16 on my computer), I was able to use Format > Page and change the "Paper format" from the default "screen" setting (about 13 by 10) to 16" by 10" (the proportions of my 2560:1600 display). That gave me a wider master and slides. I made one slide with a title that filled the width of that field, a line that filled the width of the body field, and some lines that filled the height of the body field. Unfortunately, on a SlideShow view, although my 2560:1600 (16:10) display was completely and exactly filled, the slide content did not all show. Instead, the wider part at the right is visible, showing the title and body text that reached over that far, but most of the left of the slide is all white, as if there is a blank overlay at the default presentation proportions. That all-white area is about 20" by 16" (not far off from 13 by 10). I tried 16" by 9", adjusting the slide content accordingly, expecting black bars at the bottom and/or top then. That happens but there is still the full white overlay on the left part of the display, leaving only a few inches of the actual slide showing on the right. So (1) it appears there are provisions for changing the proportions of the slides being edited and (2) there is something that prevents their correct presentation. This would seem to be an essential problem to deal with. The ease of changing proportions, and having background graphics that fit any chosen presentation become subsequent challenges. I have not looked to see if there are extensions available that provide templates for different screen layouts.
