Hey, Office Insiders! My name is Ekta Dwivedy and I’m a Product Manager on the PowerPoint Mobile team. I’m excited to share that you can now create slides in Portrait mode in PowerPoint for iPhones and iPads!

Create slides in Portrait mode

With a shift towards mobile-first content creation, we have heard from many of you that you prefer to do so in Portrait mode. Based on your feedback, We have added the capability to  switch and in and out of Portrait mode when both creating and editing  slides!

How it works 

On your iPad:

  1. Either open an existing presentation or create one.
  2. On to the Design tab, tap on Orientation.

Availability 

This feature is available to Office Insiders running Version 2.68 (Build 22112003) or later.

Don’t have it yet? It’s probably us, not you. 

Features are released over some time to ensure things are working smoothly. We highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders. Sometimes we remove elements to further improve them based on your feedback. Though this is rare, we also reserve the option to pull a feature entirely out of the product, even if you, as an Insider, have had the opportunity to try it.
