Morning everyone! I have a question about PP 2013 and my google-fu is not turning up a solution:

I need to change the orientation of every slide in a presentations. Not just from portrait to landscape, but I need the whole slide, including the content, so rotate 90 degrees. The only thing I have found between help and the internet is how ti change the page layout, but that does not change the content. I do not care is I have to change every one seperately, or all at once.

Thanks!

I’m not understanding the question. Do you want horizontal text to now become vertical?

Turn your monitor 90 Degrees CW and that is what the slides look like. I want the whole slide to rotate 90 degrees CCW, the text, pictures, heading, slide orientation, etc.

I’m pretty confident you can’t do this. I had hopes you might be able to group all objects on each page and rotate the entire group, but Power Point is really picky about what objects you can group together, so this won’t work.

Depending on why you want to do this, you might have more luck tackling this from the display standpoint. Your video driver might allow you to rotate the display, if that’s the ultimate goal.

If you’re good at VBA programming and want to spend some time, you could probably write a macro that would rotate all the objects on a page and place them at the proper X and Y coordinates.
