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?

Thanks for this information!
This works, not only for powerpoint but for Skype for Business, I assume that will work for other programs too.

Hi All,
I am using Office 2016 and I am facing the same issue of resolution size where PowerPoint is not the same size as Excel. This becomes worst when comparing my Dell e7470 with the Dell P2715Q 27" Ultra HD Monitor
Is Microsoft aware of this bug? or is it part of the actual design of the office apps?
I hade the same issue in Office 2016.
That version already has a .manifest file and a setting called dpiAware.
I simply updated the value "True/PM" to false and it seems to be working.
Hi there,
Despite the firm promise that this issue will be solved with the anniversary edition of Windows 10, the issue is still there and not 100% solved with the manifest modification, using PowerPoint is an horrible customer experience with this large menu issue, and this doesn't happen with the other Office products, a funny issue because if one of the office product should run on a big screen IT IS PowerPoint!
Any Office Tech to read the post?
Thanks in advance
Hubi

Thank you! Worked for me as well.
To bypass the issue of having permission to save the modified 'powerpnt.exe.manifest' file in the Office16 folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16), I first saved a copy on my desktop and then copied it over to the Office16 folder with Administrator rights.
