Default Powerpoint and aspect ratios

Daft question, powerpoint slides are typically 4:3 / monitor aspect ratio, when we use widescreen plasmas etc circles become elyptical due to the change in aspect ratio. Is there any way to compensate for this ??

Change the aspect on the plasma to 4:3 so you have black bars down the sites?

There must be a way of doing this as I've recieved presentations that are certainly not 4:3, but, I'll be buggered if I can find the setting!

File|Page setup, changes the size of the slide, not sure if that's useful though.

Yup it is - I tried it earlier, seems to be better than having it set to the usual.

I set display size to 16cm by 9cm to get the ratio..
