Change the Page Setup ratios (listed as page size). Usually this is 16x9 (or
within that ratio). If changing a current presentation, all elements will be
shifted around and need to be adjusted individually.

Hello,
All you need to do is to change the settings in the Page Setup dialog to be
proportional to the dimensions of your display resolution when configured
for your wide screen.
IMPORTANT: When you change the aspect ratio of slides in a presentation,
PowerPoint will, necessarily, resize and reposition items relative to the
new center coordinates of the slides. Since PowerPoint cannot distort text
it can only be resized proportionally (even though the slide has been
resized non-proportionally) so there will be times when you will have to
manually re-adjust items containing text after change the aspect ratio of
slides in a presentation.
If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as to how
PowerPoint should handle wide-screen shows and/or non-proportional changes
to the aspect ratio of slides, don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR
OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
