Default Linking PPT Presentations of Different Styles & Orientations

I've created four different presentations. They vary by style (theme) and orientation (portrait vs. landscape). I want them to flow as one automated presentation -- no mouse-clicks.

Linking from one to another looks nearly impossible without mouse-clicks.

Saving as a movie and then splicing them together doesn't seem to work; the movie versions show the sound icons (i.e., don't play the slide show).



Any suggestions? Help is needed and appreciated!

Are you projecting or showing on a monitor? Either way you are going to get black bars even if you get it working but this can look OK if projected.

Thanks JohnWilson...My use case is creating a self-running file that I can share or send, so I won't be involved in viewing it in any way.

This is tricky!

It's not really possible. In any case the vertical slides would be a different size wouldn't they?

I have seen a presentation with two sets of masters. You cannot have vertica and horizontal masters but you can mask off parts of the slide with black to make it (sort of) look that way. Not great but probably the only way
