You can use PowerPoint to print your slides (one slide per page), print slides with presenter notes, or print an outline. You can also print hand-outs of your presentation — with one, two, three, four, six, or nine slides on a page. Your audience can then use these hand-outs to follow along as you give your presentation or they can keep them for future reference.
The three-slides-per-page handout includes lines that your audience can use to take notes.
On your PC, you can set the slide size, page orientation, and starting slide number, set printing options, and save your print settings. (For help on printing in PowerPoint 2007, see Print your slides.)
- Click File > Print.
- Specify how many copies you want to print.
- Ensure that the selected printer is the one you want to use.
Click the down arrow, as illustrated, to see more printer options, including the Add Printer command that helps you connect to a different printer available on your network:
4. If you're through setting print options, select Print. Otherwise, continue to mark other settings (such as which slides to print and the layout for notes or hand-outs) as described in the following procedures.
If you decide not to print after you've opened the Print dialog box, just switch to another tab on the PowerPoint ribbon, such as Home, to dismiss the Print dialog box.
Specify which pages to print
By default, the first option under Settings in the Print dialog box is set to Print All Slides.
If you don't want to print all slides, in the Slides box, you can type the numbers of the slides to be printed. Type individual slide numbers and/or hyphenated ranges of slides, and separate them with commas (spaces are not necessary):
For example, typing: 1,3,5-7,10 would print slides 1,3, 5, 6, 7, and 10.
You can also click the down arrow and change Print All Slides to another option such as Print Current Slide or Print Selection:
Print notes and slides
When you print speaker notes, you get one slide per page, with space allotted for speaker notes below the slide. The Preview pane in the Print dialog box shows you what your printed page will look like.
- In the Print dialog box, under Settings, select the second box (which by default is set to Full Page Slides) to expand the list of options. Then, under Print Layout, select Notes Pages.
2. If you're through setting print options, select Print. Otherwise, continue to mark other settings as described in the other procedures in this article.
The other options under Print Layout, and all of the options under Hand-outs, only print slides or slide content, not speaker notes.
Print hand-outs
You can print hand-outs that show 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9 slides per page. If you print three slides per page, the slides appear on the left side of the page with printed lines for note-taking on the right side of the page. This "three-up" layout is the only one that includes printed lines for note-taking.
(For information on handout design, such as how to set up slide layouts and orientation or to change your headers, footers, or background, see Create or change a presentation's handout.)
- 1. In the Print dialog box, under Settings, select the second box (which by default is set to Full Page Slides) to expand the list of options. Then, under Hand-outs, select the page layout you want.
Print full-page slides
With this option you get one slide per page. The orientation (Landscape or Portrait) of the printed pages is automatically matched to the orientation of your slide layout.
- 1. In the Print dialog box, under Settings, ensure that the second box is set to Full Page Slides. If it isn't, click the down arrow on the control to expand the list of options. Then, under Print Layout, select Full Page Slides.
