The orientation selected in the Page Setup dialog box in Microsoft PowerPoint applies only to slides in a presentation. Notes, handout pages, and outline view print in the orientation that is opposite to that chosen in Page Setup.

For example, if landscape orientation is selected in Page Setup or Slide Setup, the slide(s) will be landscape (horizontally) oriented, while the notes and handout pages will be portrait (vertically) oriented.

This feature allows sufficient room on the notes and handout pages for the addition of text.
