Slide Show View Sizes

I have a series of pictures that I wish to use in a slide show presentation.
They are all the same size (jpegs) when I look at them in PowerPoint, until
the moment I try to run a slide show; then some appear as they should, to fit
the page, and some I only get to see about 20% of the picture. I've tried
every help question in the system to try to get all the slides to fit the
screen when I run the show but to no avail. Any ideas out there?

Can you explain a bit more what you're seeing? What 20% of the picture appears?

And do you understand that in slide show view, PowerPoint will only display the
portion of the picture that's actually *on* the slide. If your picture is
larger and extends off the slide edges, it'll be cropped in slide show view.

If you suspect that may be the problem, doubleclick the image to bring up the
formatting dialog box. On the Size tab, change the image to 10 x 7.5 inches or
so. Then see if it all appears during a slide show.

Thank you for your response. That does work, sort of. If
I change the sizes on each picture to those sorts of
numbers, then I can see the whole picture on the slide.
However, each picture will have to be sized and then
looked at and adjusted again and again so there aren't
white borders along the four sides of the picture. Is
there no way to resize the picture automatically to fit
the slide?

Sure. That was just a test to see if we could locate the basic problem.
It worked.

Have a look here for the specific tool you want to use:

Once you use it to memorize the slide size, whacking the images to fit the
slide exactly is a one-click operation.

Steve-will you "one whack" system work for both vertival and horizontal
slides or will each have to be "whacked" seoarately?

Separately. Then again, since you can't have both horizontal and vertical
slides in the same presentation, that doesn't seem too much a hardship.
Memorize the slide size once per presentation and you can click the hammer to
whack images into shape as many times as you like, until you switch to a
differently oriented presentation.
