You cannot click the Landscape and Portrait buttons on the Print Preview toolbar in PowerPoint 2002 or PowerPoint 2003
This article was previously published under Q285498
On This Page
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft PowerPoint, when you attempt to click the
Landscape and
Portrait buttons on the
Print Preview toolbar, these buttons may be unavailable (dimmed).
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because PowerPoint allows changes in
page orientation in Print Preview only when you are printing more than just
slides. For example, if you are printing notes, handouts, or outlines, you can
successfully change the page orientation.
WORKAROUND
If you want to change the page orientation after you see
the slides in Print Preview, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Change the Page Setup
- In Print Preview, on the Print Preview toolbar, click Close.
- On the File menu, click Page Setup.
- In the Slides pane, click the orientation that you want,
and then click OK.
- On the File menu, click Print Preview.
Method 2: Print Handouts
- In Print Preview, on the Print Preview toolbar, select Handouts (1 slide per page) on
the Print What drop-down menu.
- On the Print Preview toolbar, click the page orientation that you want.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 Standard Edition
