You need foreign language support activated in order for this command to be
available.
Otherwise, just hit Enter or Shift+Enter after each letter to force a line
break.

If you want the whole layout to be vertical, what Michael said.
If you want vertical text on a normal horizontal layout, that option's only
enabled in the user interface if you have support for East Asian (ie, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean) installed.
You can run this to get around that limitation (you may run into other oddities
as a result, but rest assured, if you do, we'll refund double the money you
paid for this code):
Sub SneakyStuff()
With ActivePresentation
' you can substitute other layouts here
' retype the line of code and PPT will help you
Call .Slides.Add(ActivePresentation.Slides.Count + 1, _
ppLayoutVerticalText)
End With
End Sub
