It is my understanding that screens will only display 72dpi.
How does the 96dpi help?
Seems it would only make the image larger and less manageable.

Hi Shannon,

The typical full screen default for Powerpoint is 10 in x 7.5in @ 96dpi.
The Macintosh version and the most current version in Windows will
accept 72dpi.

I suggest using Photoshop for scaling and cropping. Sizing images within
PowerPoint will not give you optimum quality for projecting photographs.
