Slide size on Power Point Notes page

Anonymous

the illustration of the slide on the notes page has changed and/or shifted so that I am missing the right margin.  Some of the slides are OK and centered correctly.  Some are larger and shifted to right.  This seemed to happen without my interferrence and like one day it was fine and the next all wonky.

Is there a way to re-establish the default???

Thanks

    Jan,

    Thank you for all your help.  One last question.  How can this be preventdin the future??  Perhpas starting with standard size and changing to wide screen?  Or vice versa? 

    Surely don't want to go through this again and perhaps others have had the same challenge.

    Hoping you have a great Thanksgiving with lost of food, family and friends.

    Jan,

    Doing this slide by slide on a 40 slide presentation is a bit tedious...  Is there a way to do it globally?

    Jan,

    1.  The notes were originally typed on the Notes pane.  The slides were copied from a previous presentation and added to the current one.

    1. OK, tried the screen shot thing with Snagit but ended up too big.  Suffice to say that the picture of the slide was shifted to the right and in

    some cases was off the printd area.  

    #. Yes, tried to repair office but nothing changed.
