Rotating Entire Presentation

I am trying to change a presentation so that all slides are at 90 degrees.
This is because I am going to show the presentation on a 32" LCD screen at a
trade show, but want the screen to be mounted sideways (tall) instead of in
its normal (wide) orientation. I can modify individual graphics and insert
them this way, but that doesn't do anything for the background templates. I
think it would be best if I could somehow just rotate the whole presentation
90 degrees.
Thoughts? Comments?
Barring this (if it can't be done), can I edit a custom template so it is at
90 degrees and then start building the presentation from scratch with
everything inserted at 90 degrees? More of a pain, but I'd take this option
if I had to.

This is your best bet....

It can be a pain creating things sideways... but you can guarantee that it
will work once connected to your 'tall' screen.

Thanks for the quick response. Good to know which way to approach the problem.

Now, how would I rotate the template? This is the part I'm going to have
trouble with.
 
Also, if I try to group everything so I can rotate it, it won't group text
with images. What gives? You would think that this would be a no-brainer for
whomever wrote the software for this program. Someone wants to rotate
EVERYTHING, then you'd want to be able to group EVERYTHING, text, images, etc.
This program is rather frustrating. Every work-around seems fraught with
more obsticals...
