Portrait Mode Full Screen Rotates the image

[Guest]

I am running a presentation using on a Dell SX280 connected to a 37" Wide
Screen LCD TV via DVI. I've used the graphics controller to rotate the image
90 degrees, portrait orientation. The presentation is 17" Wide and 33" High.
Slide orientation is set to Portrait. Notes, handouts & outline orientation
is set to Portrait. I can edit the presentation just fine, but when I run in
in Full Screen mode, it rotates itself back to landscape. Any ideas?

PowerPoint will always fit the height of the slide to the height of the
display/the width of the slide to the width of the display (so far as it can w/o
distorting the slide's proportions).

If your monitor is landscape, that's what PPT will fit it to.
If an external controller rotates the output, PPT won't know about it.

You may need to (painful!) create a landscape presentation with everything
rotated onto it so that when you lie down it looks portrait.

Or export all the images in the presentation you have, then reimport them and
rotate them onto a landscape presentation.
