PowerPoint in SundayPlus

[jflash]

As I've mentioned before, we just got a new computer in our booth. However, since we got it, when we try to display powerpoint files in sundayplus, the image is off-center and does not use the entire screen (it always appears in the bottom right corner of the screen). This doesn't happen with the full program or with any non-powerpoint content in sundayplus. I have double checked that all resolutions match, etc. ANy thoughts?

Are you sure monitor 1 and monitor 2 are running the same resolution? (both 800 x 600 or both 1024 x 768 or whatever) That is the only reason I have ever seeen for the problem you describe. I don't know if saving the Power Point for a specific resolution would cause this or not? Are you using the Power Point Viewer 2003 or the 2007 version? I'm just trying to think of possible reasons.

You might get better answers on Sunday Plus's own forum.

Try "tools", "prefs", "movie&image". Make sure "movie size" and "image size" are both "stretch to fit" and click apply.

Also try downloading the latest powerpoint viewer from MS onto the machine, if you don't have a full version of ppt on it.

Just some thoughts..

1) When running on a single monitor at home, in the presentation window, PowerPoint usually displays only the upper left quarter of the image. I've PPT files that I have edited display properly in that window. I'm sure it's a resolution problem. PowerPoint images are probably too high of a resolution.

2) I run everything at 1024x768 resolution at the church. The computer monitor, the second monitor/projection output, the video scalers. Everything works fine.
