iChat Theater Problem - images not fitting

Maybe someone can help. The info on iChat Theater is pretty sparse. When I try to do a Theater session, if I do a FILE, (PowerPoint or Keynote) the file is too big or something. I can see part of the slide, but but it has horizontal and vertical scrollbars and the whole slide does not fit in the window. (It is worth noting that video chat and Theater with iPhoto both work. It appears to be only the file. When I use QuickLook directly from the finder to test it, it fits fine. It is just when I try to share a file through Theater. Weird. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the answer. So, this is a "known issue". Is there any information on this issue? What types of files it effects and doesn't? What size documents? Anything? Thanks for your reply Ralph.

On a side note: your site was VERY helpful to me in setting up my Jabber transports. Thans, it is appreciated.

Hi Todd,

We, the regular Posters who have tried this find that in any app that produces a file that you can scroll in a display window is subject to this.

Word, TextEdit, Keynote/PowerPoint and so on.

I am not sure why some have problems with the 16:9 format of the iChat 4 picture window and others do not.

PowerPoint/Keynote are likely due to the fact that here the default Paper size for Printing it out would be 11.75 X 8.25 (A4) in Landscape which falls between 4:3 and 16:9 which might be a clue.

Same for Word and other Portrait layout Text based documents.

Pics form cameras or Video is likely to be one or the other format.
