    hello,

    I want to change the heigh of my slideshare… but I just can change the width, and I would really like to make it have a “page” look. not square, but rectangular.

    down here is the code and the link to the page. what am I doing wronng?
    maybe the heigh can´t be changed, just the width…?

    ok, it´s not possible to modify the heigh of slideshare, nor of http://www.scribd.com (it makes the same but in pdf).

    wordpress makes always a square window, so you CAN’T modify the heigh of the window.

    so, please wordpress, take out that feature (the hability to modify the heigh of a slideshare embed window) of your instructions, as it makes you get confused and can be really frutrating. I have been for 3 days trying to know how to do something which is impossible.

    thank you very much.

    in this link:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/slideshare/

    wordpress say this:

    Note: You can change the width and height by adding parameters such as &w=700&h=550 to the end of the shortcode…

    but it´s wrong. height can´t be changed. please, change it.

    there´s something very important to keep in mind with slideshare, even when you can make a slideshow with it (but it´s not easy at all, as it doesn´t allow to upload jpg files) slideshare is mainly a document viewer I think.

    and documents are not square, but rectangular. so the basic window with slideshare should be rectangular.

    this is the code you should be using: 

    [gigya width="500" height="710" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/doc_player.swf?doc=dossierprensaelcorazonlaboca-100812133957-phpapp01&stripped_title=dossier-prensa-el-corazonla-boca" quality="high" flashvars="gig_lt=1281966567880&gig_pt=1281967114967&gig_g=2&gig_n=wordpress" wmode="tranparent" allowfullscreen="true" ]

    I messed with the width and height,
