Is anyone aware of a way to create a presentation using
PowerPoint 2000 that mixes slides of both portrait and
landscape orientations? Thanks in advance.

Please explain the reason and purpose for your need to mix orientations ....

I don't understand.

I would like an answer to this too. My boss takes exhibits we have made in both potrait and landscape and wants to use them in one presentation. If yoy resize the portrait to fit landscape it doesn't look right
I use 2002 now but an answer would be appreciated

If yoy resize the portrait to fit landscape it doesn't look right.

Yep, it sure won't. Be sure you're not resizing and messing up the aspect of
the image...use the corners to resize, NEVER use the sides unless a
distorted image is your preference.

Once the top of the image is at the top of the slide, and the bottom of the
image is at the bottom of the slide when you resize using the corners, the
sides could be blank. That's it, that all you can do unless you crop the
image.

If you can't crop, the ONLY way to resolve this is to turn the image
sideways (90 degrees) on the slide, fit it as I just described, then have
someone turn the projector sideways during the presentation. The turn it
back for the next slide.

Or if you're using an overhead projector and transparencies, turn that
transparency sideways.

If you're printing presentations to paper, you can't turn a single page in a
handout. Well, you could, but that would look silly, wouldn't it? :-)

Can't you have a presentation that links to each of the individual
presentations in their orientation?
