MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006How do I use Landscape & Portrait slides in the same presentation.
The reason I need to do this is because some of them are charts so it needs to be landscape to fit, and then for all of the text to fit I need it portrait. So I need to use both in one presentation. I have office 2003. Please this is important. Please use step by step process because this is for work! PPT doesn't let you put landscape and portrait in the same presentation, regardless of the reason you want to do it. This is because PPT is a presentation program, and you're limited to one screen for your slide show -- so the height of the slide is as tall as the screen will go unless you physically flip the screen on its side midway through the presentation.

Will this be a printed document or something that'll be shown on screen? If on screen there's no point to mixing landscape and portrait because it's all going to be landscape (ie, your computer screen) in the end. Forcing it to portrait will just give you a much smaller portrait chunk of stuff on a landscape screen. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ As the others have said there's really no point in an on screen presentation. There's a quick tutorial on faking it here though. http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttips_landscape_portrait.html SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > The reason I need to do this is because some of them are charts so it needs > to be landscape to fit, and then for all of the text to fit I need it > portrait.
