Does beamer and impressive support scrolling? I assume not as beamer is
LaTeX based which also uses fixed paper size. The paradigm of fixed size
slides is imho a remnant from a time when slides were "hardware" and placed
on a overhead projector. I see no reason why shouldn't be able to scroll a
long slide during a presentation if you can't fit it all on a single screen
full.
