PowerPoint2007 How to set up a full screen playback movie

Instead of playing as part of a slide in a presentation, you can fill the entire screen with the movie when you play it. This is called Full-screen playback of a movie. Depending on the resolution of the original movie file, the movie may appear distorted when you play the movie in Full-screen mode. Therefore, it is a good idea to always preview the movie so that if the movie appears distorted or blurry, you can undo the full screen option.

If you set the movie to play in Full-screen mode and set to start automatically, you can drag the movie box off the slide so that it does not appear on the slide and will not blink briefly until the movie becomes Full-screen.
