rotating all slides in a PP presentation?
Howitzer
I can accomplish this? In other words, I need to rotate all slides 180
degrees, including the background. I am using Powerpoint 2002.

"Save as", change the "Save as" file type to "JPGs". This will save each
slide to an individual JPG file in the desired folder. Next, open up a
graphics program like Microsoft Photo Editor, open each JPG, flip it (Image,
Rotate, Invert), then save the file. Repeat for all images. Open
PowerPoint, create the number of blank slides you need for the images you
have and click "Insert', "Picture", "From file", browse to and select each
image for each slide. If you have a bunch of images to import into
PowerPoint, you can download the Image Importer Wizard at:

I think Bill's got it, only toss IrfanView (www.irfanview.com) into the midst.
I think it can do the rotation for you in batch mode. It's a great program,
does all kinds of useful stuff with images. And it's free.
But out of curiosity, how come you need to flip the images?

Our school is having a musical and we need to project a background onto a
screen using a video projector (from the ceiling) that doesn't invert the
image. We will turn the projector upside down and mount it above the stage.
Since the projector will be upside down, so should the PowerPoint
presentation... know of an easier way to make this all happen?

Make sure that you only allow Australians into the theatre. They won't notice?
You could also try smoke and mirrors. Only w/o the smoke. If you can mount the
projector vertically, point it up or down at a mirror just in front of the lens.
The mirror should be at 45degrees to the lens/45 to the projection surface.
That'll flip the image for you.

ROFL!
As for the mirror, wouldn't the text be back to front? I've been to the US
so know what it is like to see everything upside down, but backwards as
well? ;-)
Most projectors have a setting to flip the image for roof attachment.

Apparently this one doesn't. But if it has a setting for rear projection,
that'd fix the flippytype problem. But I don't think it'd be an issue. You
get one flip per mirror. No, I'm not gonna try to do an ascii diagram. <g>
But try it. If you hold the mirror vertically and rotate it 45, now you're
looking at something 90deg left or right and it's flopped front to back.
Hold the mirror horizontally, you're looking at something on the floor or
ceiling (that'd be ceiling or floor for you, Glen) and it's upside down.
Now if you live in China where they write right to left AND top to bottom, this
all gets a great deal more complex.

OK. Standing on my head, looking in a mirror, asking the kids to tilt the
mirror? The kids think I'm crazy!

You are going to have to FLIP again!

I thought they already knew.
