Jun 13, 2019 Slide Show not taking up full screen on monitor Hi, I've created a Powerpoint presentation. When I 'view show', there is what appears to be a 2-3 inch vertical black border on either side of the slide show. I want to get rid of these borders so the slide show takes up the full screen. I tried increasing the zoom and adjusting the screen.

When you press F5 while going through a Powerpoint PPT, it fullscreens the PPT but goes to the 1st slide. I want to see the current slide fullscreen - is there a way to do this?
