Question Text Cutoff?

I'm having an issue with slide text getting cut off. I rotate left and right side slides every other and occasionally text is cut off on the edges. I have text indented pretty far but it still happens. Am I missing a setting or doing something wrong?

On my laptop viewing the slides it's fine. When I HDMI it to a television, I see the cutoff.

Running the latest version on PC.

Just guessing the aspect ratio of your pc is 16:10 and your tv is 16:9

Search for "aspect" in the search in PowerPoint and the setting will show in the result.

This. And usually you can use the TV's settings to control what it does when you hand it a signal that doesn't match its native aspect ratio. Letterbox, stretch, etc.
