Change Orientation using the Side Pane

Note – If your side pane is not visible on your screen, click on View (on the menu bar) and choose Side Pane. This should put a tick next to it, and the side pane should appear on your screen.

You can also change the orientation of your slides using the sidebar in Impress. To do this, make sure your sidebar is visible (see above), then click on Properties. In the Slide section, use the drop-down arrow here to change the orientation for landscape to portrait.
