1. Change Default Home Page

This is because the default PowerPoint grid has fixed margins; drawing your own grid lets you define your margins’ size. To do this you will need to add multiple guides. To display guides in PowerPoint, right click on a slide, select Grid and Guides and check Display drawing guides on screen. This will bring up one vertical and one horizontal. To change the slide size: By default, all slides in PowerPoint 2013 use a 16 by 9—or widescreen—aspect ratio. You might know that widescreen TVs also use the 16-by-9 aspect ratio. Widescreen slides will work best with widescreen monitors and projectors. Follow these steps to change the dimensions of the slide (page) in PowerPoint 2007: Open Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and create a new presentation (or PowerPoint may open with a new presentation). Select the Design tab on the Ribbon, and click Page Setup as shown in Figure 1 Figure 1: Page Setup in the Design tab. This will open the Page Setup. I run Word 2016 on a Macbook Air. When the app opens the pane is minimized, forcing me to drag the edge to resize it to full screen. If I resize, save, close, and re-open it will retain the size of the pane, but having to resize every single new document is a nuisance. POWERPOINT FOR MAC 2011 1.Open a new PowerPoint slide presentation and click the arrow next to the New Slide button on the top left section of the Home tab and select the Blank slide theme. 2.Select File, Page Setup, and change the width to 56 inches and height to 36 inches. Make sure the orientation is the horizontal landscape option.

You must be logged in with an account that has administrator rights on your Mac to change these settings. If you are prompted for a username/password, use the ones for your administrator account on your Mac, not your MIT Kerberos Principle.

This can be done through the cups interface.
