Microsoft PowerPoint supports two types of slide orientation. What are they?

Concept

Slide orientation describes whether a rectangular slide is taller than it is wide or wider than it is tall. Presentation software uses portrait for the vertical layout and landscape for the horizontal layout.

Application

In Microsoft PowerPoint, the two supported slide-orientation types are Portrait and Landscape.

Contrast

• Portrait and Landscape name the vertical and horizontal slide layouts.

• Upright and Landscape combines a general direction word with one slide-layout term.

• Portrait and Facedown combines one slide-layout term with a physical-position word.

• Landscape and Facedown likewise combines one slide-layout term with a physical-position word.

Result

Therefore, the supported orientation types are Portrait and Landscape.
