By default, the slide layout of Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 is set to landscape orientation.

If you want to change the orientation of all the slides in your presentation to a portrait orientation, click on the Design tab, in the page Setup group, click Slide Orientation, and then click Portrait.

For each presentation, only one orientation (portrait or landscape) can be chosen, but it is possible to link two presentations (one with a landscape orientation and one with a portrait), and view slides oriented as landscape and portrait.

You can set the parameters in detail on the page using the Page Setup button.

This task is called the analysis of the results of the company and the strategy for the improvement of its results. Create groups of two pupils (max. three pupils). Each group will create a presentation using four frames. On the first slide, write the title of the presentation and the name of the company. On the second slide, insert a 3D pie chart describing the deterioration of the company production in the first three quarters of 2011. On the third frame, show a model of the innovation of the company using the SmartArt. The fourth frame is final. Edit the presentation graphically by using the window Design. Show the presentation to a neighbouring group. Explain why you used those graphic themes for the presentation of the results and the proposal on the innovation activities of your company.
