them in portrait. ????????

Hello,

This is a known problem with some printer drivers. They do not understand
that PowerPoint 2002 and 2003 slides print, by default, in landscape
orientation. The workarounds include:

* Short-Term: Change your default printer driver settings to be for
landscape printing.

* Long-Term: Get an different updated, certified printer driver (if
available) for your printer.
