I have been using powerpoint for a very long time and I
have not able to achieve this result.
Can you insert portrait slide into a landscape
presentation without changing all the slides orientation?
If this cannot be achieved, it would be suprising that in
2003 the microsoft program engineers have not come up with
an idea on how to achieve this. This would improve
presentation quality by 100%.
My other question is will anybody pass this query on to
USA? I would like to think that as an end user and
customer, microsoft would do its best to try and resolve
this issue.

Many thanks,
Nadia Sgaravizzi

no, you cannot insert a single slide with different orientation. Though this
question is brought up once in a week or so. (OT: We didn't have this
question for a while ...) But you could have it in a portrait presentation
and link it to your landscape presentation with hyperlinks.

Would it really? Your monitor as well as your projector will still be
landscape oriented. The only issue is, you'll be losing 50 % of display area
when displaying a portrait image on a landscape screen ...

But I'm sure, as soon as those little motors which can rotate your monitor
by 90 degrees become more affordable and as soon as they can be activated
from within PowerPoint, Microsoft will integrate this
mix-portrait-and-landscape-feature into the program. ;-)

You'll have to ask Bill yourself - see the link B posted.

Kind regards,

I'm waiting for the ones that can flip a 3 x 4 meter rear projection screen.
Then rehang the drapery around it.
And raise the ceiling to make room.
All in .2 second or less.

Meanwhile, I think I can live with landscape.
 
I thought that was standard for rear projection ... Well, of course, not
0.2 second part ... If you put it on the fast speed, it vibrates so much,
that the next two draws from the kegger tap are nothing but foam . I'm
forced to use a slower transition to accommodate. I feel so restricted.

But seriously Nadia,
What are you doing that you need to mix the orientations? Are you merging
two existing presentations, or inserting someone else's slide into yours?
Maybe you could make do with two masking boxes on the sides of the screen
instead, or course depending on your application.
