The Slide Property Page
The slide property page allows the user to add
a transition to a slide, change a slide's background, set the
background scaling, clear the current background and access the movie
property page.
Image Scaling
The background image scaling can be set by the "Image Scaling"
menu. There are several options, but the most common options are
"fit to fill" and "fit to image aspect". Fit to fill will stretch
the image so that it fills the entire projector screen. Fit to image
aspect will allow the image to keep its origional width to height ratio
while being stretched as large as it can on the projector. The Slide toolbar Aspect Tool can accomplish the
same effect.
