Powerpoint refuses to scale properly on my second monitor and borders menu items etc. stay too big to operate efficiently. Word is working as it should and the menu items resize appropriately when moving from monitor to monitor. You can view an example screen shot of both Word and Powerpoint on the monitor here: http://screencast.com/t/MAkVnCXAtfph
Is there a setting to fix this and make it behave like Word does?

Solved problem for Powerpoint Office 360 2016 as well. Thanks.
This fix on the link above worked for me. I'm using a Dell XPS 13 with second monitor. I did have to change my security permissions in order for this fix to work.
I have the same issue with Powerpoint in Office 2013 (I can't find a thread specific to that version. I'm using a Dell XPS 13 with a secondary Acer Monitor. Powerpoint is huge on the second monitor! I looked into your manifest fix, but things appear to be structured differently in Office 2013. There's already a manifest file in the Office15 folder, and it can't be edited (at least it isn't allowing me to).
Just got a new Razer Blade laptop and indeed the 3200x1900 (or whatever) is not working on most external monitors that are 1920x1200 (or whatever).
Powerpoint of course is used constantly in my office so this is a huge PAIN!!! Come on Microsoft patch this please it looks horrible.
**Edit - tried lots of settings like hardware acceleration, etc., but no luck. Currently reducing the display scaling (100/125/150%) works best at 100%. Of course other things get super small... but at least I can use the mighty Powerpoint!**
Also while you're at it can you fix the way bullets work and allow me to easily format my bullet points... fail!
Hi,
Is there any chance we have some official feedback from Microsoft regarding this issue?
It is getting very common usage of more than one monitor so this issue is surely affecting many more people...?
Thanks.
