Following info is straight from the Help file:

Portrait and landscape orientation in the same slide show
If you want your presentation to include a series of
slides that have a portrait orientation (taller than wide)
but your presentation is set up for landscape orientation
(wider than tall), you must first put the slides with the
portrait orientation into a new presentation, create a
link to the presentation, and then open that presentation
during the slide show. If you want to create a link to an
individual slide with a different orientation, open the
presentation that includes the slide, and then move that
slide alone into a new presentation. For information about
creating a hyperlink to another presentation, click .


Hope this helps,

I have tried the help file solution, and not been able to
get the hyperlink to work. I'm not a programmer, but
tried it anyway.

Clearly, I'm missing something. The basics are you go to
the spot you want the new slide, put a hyper link to the
second PP file. Then your supposed to go to the second PP
file and place a hyperlink back to the first PP file
where you want to continue the show. Seems intuitive,
but the execution of this fails every time.

Anyone had success with this?

No, but I have a question. What are you doing that requires the switch in
the layout? And, how are you displaying this slide?
Onscreen...printed...transparency??? I don't fully understand the need for
both layouts in the same show, and I'm just curious why it's so commonly
needed.

Hi Charlie,

The hyperlinks should only be in the "root" presentation that you start the
slide show with. When you follow the hyperlinks from this roof "landscape"
presentation to view some "portrait" slides and you want to return to the
"root" presentation just hit the ESC key (or click past the ending slide of
the "portrait" presentation). This will end the "portrait" show and return
you back to the slide in the "landcape" presentation that you were in when
you clicked on the hyperlink.

Normally there's little, if anything, to be gained by mixing portrait and
landscape slides in a presentation that is intended to be displayed as a
slide show (not intended primarily for printing), but, of course, If you
(or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that some kind feature
for combining slides with different dimensions and/or orientations in the
same presentation file should be part of PowerPoint, don't forget to send
your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

HERE IS WHY I WANTED TO DO THIS - I DO PRESENTATIONS THAT
INCLUDE A VARIETY OF CHARTS & GRAPHS, BUT ALSO INCLUDE
THINGS THAT COME STRAIGHT OUT OF OTHER DOCUMENTS -
INCLUDING DOCUMENTS THAT ARE IN PORTRAIT LAYOUT, ALONG
WITH OTHERS THAT ARE IN LANDSCAPE LAYOUT. I ENDED UP JUST
RE-FORMATTING THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT INTO TWO LANDSCAPED
PAGES. WHICH OF COURSE I KNEW I COULD HAVE DONE ALL
ALONG, BUT IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED MUCH BETTER IN PORTRAIT.
ANYONE I ASKED IN MY DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAVE ALSO HAD
THIS DILEMMA COME UP WHEN CREATING PRESENTATIONS.
