      Thanks.  I had a hard time finding the Context menu.  For others 
who might read this thread in the future, I will document here how I 
found it:  Rt-click (Ctrl-click on my Mac) in the slide [not in the 
slide thumbnail on the left] -> "Format slide...". This has page width 
and height options.

      Draw is painfully slow for me on my MacBook Pro.  Virtually 
everything else runs shockingly fast, especially compared the computer I 
replaced with the MacBook.  I'm running LO 5.1.4.2 under Mac OS X 
10.11.6.  I rarely use Draw, in part because it's been painfully slow 
for me in the past, if my memory is correct.


      Thanks again,
