To make stellar presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint we need to keep changing between landscape and portrait mode, here is a quick guide.

Step 1: Open PowerPoint: Open Microsoft PowerPoint on your computer.

Step 2: Open Your Presentation: Open the PowerPoint presentation in which you want to change the slide orientation to portrait mode.
Step 3: Access Slide Size Options: In most versions of PowerPoint, navigate to the "Design" or "Layout" tab in the PowerPoint ribbon at the top of the window. Within this tab, look for an option related to "Slide Size" or "Slide Orientation." The exact wording might vary depending on the version of PowerPoint you're using.

Step 4: Choose Portrait Orientation: Click on the "Slide Size" or "Slide Orientation" option, and a dropdown menu should appear with orientation choices. Select "Portrait" from the available options.

Step 5: Confirm Changes: Once you've selected "Portrait," PowerPoint will ask if you want to maximize the content to ensure it fits within the new portrait orientation. You can choose to either "Maximize" or "Ensure Fit" based on your preference. If you're unsure, you can start with "Maximize" and adjust later if needed. Simply click on ok after choosing the settings.
Step 6: Adjust Content (if needed): After changing the slide orientation to portrait, you might need to adjust the layout, font sizes, and content placement to ensure everything fits properly within the new layout.
Step 7: Save Changes: Don't forget to save your presentation after making the changes to the slide orientation. Or simply choose ctrl+s.
Remember that if you're changing the slide orientation from landscape to portrait, the layout and design of your slides might need some adjustments to fit the new orientation effectively.
Keep in mind that the specific location of options and menus might differ based on the version of PowerPoint you're using. If you can't find the options mentioned above, try exploring different tabs and menus related to slide design and layout settings.
