Support for the Widescreen Slide Size

Support for the new widescreen default slide size (13.333 inches x 7.5 inches), introduced in Microsoft Office 2013, has been added to WebFOCUS. The new WIDESCREEN page size option was specifically designed for use with PowerPoint presentations, but you can use it with any output format.
