For Your Information: Using Portrait and Landscape Together In PowerPoint, you can have only one slide orientation in a presentation. However, if you want to use portrait and landscape slide orientation in the same presentation, you can do it by creating a link between two presentations. For best results, place both presentations in the same folder on your computer. First, you create a link from the first presentation to the second presentation, and then create a link from the second presentation back. See "Creating Hyperlinks to External Objects" on page 248 for instructions on creating a link to another presentation. |
