Viewing full screen attachments

when I open some attachments they show up only in a narrow screen that I can move from side to side but cannot expand to full screen size for easier reading. This includes enewspapers and that makes it nearly impossible to read.how can I expand these narrow screens to full screen, as they used to appear automatically?

iPad Air, iOS 13

Is there an update coming for Media Gallery images (in Pages) to expand an image on Tap to full screen - like it does in iBooks Author? I hope so this is EXTREMELY useful (especially when Lessing books with hi-res images).

PowerPoint slideshow runs full-screen on Windows desktop but not on iPad Pro I created a presentation with PowerPoint on my Windows desktop (I have a subscription to Microsoft 365), with the documents themselves residing on OneDrive so I can access them anywhere. The slide show runs fine and full-screen on my monitor. I went over to my 12.9” iPad Pro and loaded up PowerPoint and the presentation which I have access to with OneDrive. I ran the slideshow, and instead of being full screen it displays that black-space-on-top-and-bottom look that indicates some video misalignment. If I tap on the black space at top it opens up a small toolbox at the upper right where you can see that as far as the app is concerned it IS in full-screen mode (the symbol gives you the option to shrink the app to be NON-full screen which makes the slides even smaller). I poked around online and don’t see anything that is quite on the mark for me. Is there a setting to force PowerPoint to adapt to full-screen mode of whatever device it’s running on? I don’t see anything like that, either in PowerPoint for Windows that I created the slides with, or PowerPoint for iOS that I want to run the slideshow on. I looked at "Presenter View" but that's not relevant. Any thoughts?
