PowerPoint defaults to widescreen slides in all new presentations. However, you can change your presentation’s aspect ratio from Widescreen (16:9) to Standard (4:3), and also do the reverse. PowerPoint has some features up its sleeve that make these changes of aspect ratios easier to understand, and some quirks too!
