Is it possible to change the orientation of a slide in a presentation of
slides from landscape (horizontal) to portrait (vertical). I have a picture
that I want to include that is horizontal but I want the text in the next
slide to be vertical but to change one slide will change them all.
If this is not possible then I would be satisfied with rotating the picture
90 degrees so that it will fit in the rectangular vertical format of the
slide. Or even to change the shape of and individual slide to fit the
picture if that is possible.
What I have now is vertical text page and a vertical picture page that
forces me to scale down the picture to half it's full size.

Well the answer is no, you can't change orientations like that in PPT.

But unless you're going to print out your presentation, your picture is
going to be just as you mention: half size on screen during a slide
show. Might as well have a slide with a black background and a
half-sized version of the your picture in the middle, it will look just
fine.

If you are going to print out the presentation and not display it on
screen, then pre rotate it before bringing it into PowerPoint. A good
program for that is the ever popular GraphicConverter.
