Customizing Handouts

[Mike McCall]

Is there a way to resize the slides in a 2 slides per page handout print?
We are finding that the 2/page slides on the handout are too small for
clients to read and would like to enlarge them on the sheet.

Thanks in advance...

You can't adjust the slide size on the handout master. There's a "trick" here
which may help.

Perfect! Such a simple solution...Thanks

One technique I've used is to simply go to the printer dialog, and tell it to print one
slide per page. Then I tell the printer to print two pages per side of paper. The result
is slides which are much larger, and consequently readable, than the joke handouts
Microsoft thinks we want (in a rational world, those default templates would be as large
as possible, but they aren't done that way, because Microsoft does not really want to
support the concept of printing slides. In fact, I have been told this explicitly when I
asked that printer settings be retained in the presentation, like in Publisher)
