Printing a Presentation in Different Format

Preparing for Printing

Familiarise yourself with the Slide Sorter View: the overview of slides on your screen can make selecting slides to print easier.
Ensure that your slides are in the correct order before printing.
Check for errors: it’s easier to catch typos, graphical errors, and alignment issues on screen than on paper.

Understand the Print dialogue box to select the slides you want to print.
You can choose to print all slides, the current slide, a custom range, or the slides you’ve selected in the sorter view.
Use Insert > Header & Footer to add details like page numbers, date, or notes.

PowerPoint offers several print layout options, such as Full Page Slides, Notes Pages, Outline, or Handouts.
Full Page Slides: prints a full page for each slide.
Notes Pages: prints each slide with any speaker notes you’ve attached.
Outline: prints a text outline of your presentations, without images.
Handouts: allows you to print multiple slides on one page.
Handouts is useful for saving paper or giving your audience an overview of your presentation.

Printer properties: adjust settings as needed for your printer model, like paper size, paper source, and print quality.
Colour options: choose to print in grayscale, black and white or in colour.
Arrange your slides horizontally or vertically on the page using the orientation settings.
Collation: choose whether to collate the slides when you’re printing more than one copy.

Always Preview your selection before printing to avoid wasting paper.
The Print Preview shows how the printed slides will look.
In Print Preview, ensure that everything fits onto the page, and that nothing is cut off.

You might need to add Binds or Fasteners if your presentation needs to be kept in a certain order.
You can also consider Punching holes on the sides if you want to put your presentation in a binder.
