Your description makes it sounds like you can have different size slides in one presentation, but just an FYI that is not the case. You don’t have to select all slides to change their size because they all are the same size.

Each time, I start my Powerpoint I have to change the size of the slide to A4. How do I install A4 as the standard?

Grateful for advice on how to make adjustments – nightmare for presentation in school when only part of the screen could be seen.

Not true, this changes all slides, not a single or just the selected slides.

Incorrect. No need to select any slide because once you change the Slide Size it affects ALL slides (and slide masters) in your document.
I would highly recommend keeping a copy of PowerPoint 2010, purely for changing slide sizes – it automatically resizes all objects from 4:3 to 16:9 and back again, instantly. This feature was taken away and replaced with a rather useless version in PowerPoint 2013 onwards. Seriously, what were Microsoft thinking?!?!

When selecting slide size, why does size A3 have the correct size in its name but PowerPoint shows a different size for width and height? Which is right?

Pretty useless. I am trying to create a flyer using A4 card. No way can I get to match the screen size so that ‘what you see is what you get’. It makes design almost impossible. I think I’ll cancel and look for something that actually works with people. It used to work. Why tinker and ‘improve’ it out of existence.
