Printing Handouts

Handouts are printed copies of your presentation that PowerPoint can generate automatically. The handouts show a small image of each slide. You can specify the number of slides you want to be printed on each page, and the slides will be scaled to fit on the page.

Create the Handouts

  1. With your presentation completed, point to Print on the Office menu, and, in the gallery that appears, click Print Preview to display your handout page in Print Preview.

  2. Click the Orientation button if you want to change the orientation of the page.

  3. Select Handouts, and specify the number of slides you want per page.

  4. Click Options, and specify whether you want to include header and footer content, hidden slides, comments, and frames around the slides, and whether you want to print in color. If you’ve specified four or more slides per page, point to Printing Order, and specify the way you want the slides to be arranged in the columns.

  5. Click Next Page, and check the way that page will print. Continue going through the handout pages to verify that the layout appears as you want.

  6. Click Print. In the Print dialog box that appears, make whatever print settings you want, and, with Handouts selected in the Print What list, click OK to print the handouts.

Tip

Tip

If you select three slides per page, PowerPoint prints blank lines next to each slide image so that people have room to jot down notes about the slides.
