Changing a slide to landscape

[Guest]

HI all

I use the task pane all the time in PowerPoint to create/edit my slides.

When changing a slide from portrait to landscape, is there an easier/quicker
way than going through File-Page Setup?

Thanks
Louise

Louise,
You could add a button to the taskbar of your choice. Rightclick next to any
taskbar, choose customize, commands tab, file category, drag page set-up to
a taskbar.
Alternatively adapt the right-click menu, read this excellent article on
Steve Rindsberg site:

If you wanted a one click change you would have to add a MACRO to a right
click menu

Macro would be

Sub portrait()
ActivePresentation.PageSetup.SlideOrientation = msoOrientationHorizontal
End Sub

and you should add to the slide background menu.

There are tutorials on vba and macros in right click menus on PowerPoint
