I want to use the HDMI output and would like to have the slideshow be fullscreen, like the desktop version. Is this possible? I've tried the android version of powerpoint and the top and sides are not fullscreen.

I don't have the adapter to connect iPad/iPhone to HDMI monitors (or an HDMI monitor, but that may change tomorrow).
You might want to ask this in our sister Mac forum too, though:

Ah. Wait. You said Android. I'm not sure *where* you'd find Droid-specific PPT help.
Still, worth asking there too.
Steve,
Thanks for the reply. Are you able to get the presentation full screen on the device? I'm not. The app is fullscreen on the HDMI output, so there should be a way to make the presentation full screen.
Normally, if your presentation's slide size is in the same proportions as the size of the screen you're showing the presentation on, it should fill the screen automatically. If the proportions are different it' can't fill the screen w/o distorting the contents of your slides.
However, PPT on mobile devices may not be able to adapt itself to whatever's at the end of the HDMI cable; it may simply fill the device screen, and if the device screen proportions don't match the attached screen, letterbox it (ie, give you black bars)
