Q: Is the anyway to create portrait style slide in Keynote 09?

I want to make slide in a portrait format using Keynote and cannot figure out if this is possible.  I'm trying because my friend and I are doing a project togethher and we need to mesh powerpoint and keynotes slides together in the end, and he has Powerpoint, and all his slides are portrait style.  Is this possible?

    Can I do this for just one slide?  I changed the numbers and it worked ok but changed the whole presentation, I just want to insert one portrait page?

    Slide size applies to the Keynote project, not to individual slides, therefore only a single format ratio is permitted.

    Best practice is to match the pixel size of Keynote to the end product, if the presentation is to be shown on a 1920 x 1200 pixel computer monitor, Keynote slide size should have the same pixel values.

     

    I am curious to know why you would want to do this, each display device (computer monitor, TV, projector) has fixed vertical and horizontal pixel dimensions.

    I am doing a presentation on using some software which generate results from a query.  I can't fit the results all on one page without spiliting it in two.  It can't be read if its on one page, the font is too small.  I wanted to be able to scroll down and refer to the top and bottom of the report in the one slide.  Everything else works fine in landscape.

     

    Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    You can 'simulate' what you want to do by adding a Portrait image to your (landscape) slide and position it so just the lower half of the image is displayed.

     

    Now select the image and from Animate >Build In select Move IN with the feature of Bottom to Top. Preview it NOW so you can see what will happen...

     

    Now it is up to you to adjust the time so viewers can read the document as it scrolls up.

     

    (OR you could just put half the document on one slide and the other half on the next... I like the Move In... for a more 'professional' solution).
