Portrait Mode in Keynote

Last year someone asked how to change a slide in Keynote from landscape to portrait. The answer does not look like anything I see in Keynote 10.0. I don't know what Inspector is. There is no Document pull-down menu. The Slide menu does not have a Size option or a Custom Slide size.

Neither the Format nor Document icons bring be to a screen with a Portrait/Landscape option. The Search box under the Help menu discusses how to do this in Pages. Nothing about Keynote. There is nothing in Keynote's User Guide for Mac.

How can I change a slide from Landscape to Portrait?

The Inspector is the side panel to the right of the slide canvas - marked red below:

How can I change a slide from Landscape to Portrait?

There is not a dedicated setting in Keynote to switch from view to portrait, the procedure below shows how this is done.

1 - click on the Document button on the tool bar:

2 - in the Inspector, click the Document tab

3 - click on the Slide Size dropdown menu:

4 - click Custom Slide Size:

5- in the entry box that appears, enter the new values for the width

and height,

6 - to keep the existing wide screen ratio, but change to portrait, swap the values in the boxes, then click the OK button
