Eliminate The Black Border Around Slides When Using The PowerPoint Viewer

When running presentations in full screen mode or through other multimedia technologies, like in the Q&A case below, the default black border that PowerPoint generates is not always the most welcome feature.

Let's find out how to get around this issue.

Dan Putelli asked: QUESTION: Hi there, I wondered if you could help me with a problem I've got?

I am calling PowerPoint slides from within a Macromedia Director presentation (projector) utilising the PowerPoint Viewer 97.

Here is my problem: In Macromedia Director I give the PowerPoint window a specific size so as to fit it exactly into my Director presentation.

This works fine when I use PowerPoint itself.

When I use PowerPoint Viewer though, the slide is displayed slightly smaller and with a black border around it.

You can also check this out by opening the same file with PP and PP Viewer at the same time and then toggle between them.

The reason I'm not using PowerPoint to display the slides in Director is, that it seems to have problems displaying certain slides i.e.: the slide show up as black squares.

I was wondering if you'd know of a way to get rid of that black border around the slide in PowerPoint Viewer.

Regards,

Dan
