You are most apt to want to change the page orientation when you have a large table, either in Word or Excel. Sometimes, however, you need to change the landscape orientation in Power Point to portrait. This is a very simple operation.

In Word or Excel, on the Home ribbon click on Page Layout and click on the arrow by Page Orientation and select either portrait or landscape. In Power Point this option is found on the Design Ribbon as Page Orientation.
