Handout printing 2 to a page with notes?

G

Guest

I would like to print two handout slides to a page with note lines on the
side. I read the forum and tried the suggestion of sending to word. The
note lines did not show? I am using 2003 pro on both.

When you say "notes lines" do you mean "blank lines to take notes on"?

If so be sure to choose the "blank lines" options NOT "notes"

I was unable to find "blank lines." My apologies, I will try to explain
better. My goal is to print two slides to a page (I have been pringing
three: this automatically comes with blank lines) so I can read them better,
and have room for notes (blank lines) on the side. These PPT presentations
are given to me, I am not making them. I print handouts. I appreciate the
help!

You need to click on the File menu, then on Send to, then on Microsoft Word.
In that dialog, you must click "blank lines next to slides." There will be a
thumbnail of a page with 2 slides + lines.

Now, once this "send to word" process is complete, you will actually have 3
slides / page in a table setup. You must increase the height of the rows in
the table in order to get to 2 slides / page.

Hello Echo,
This is the closest I have gotten. However, the picture stays small, and I
was unable to enlarge it. The primary reason for switching from three to a
page was to enlarge the engineering drawings to gain detail. Should the
pictures have stayed small? Am I missing something else: If there is three
to a page with notes, therefore, two to a page with notes should
be.........straight ahead??? I guess I might just have to waste the paper
then on one to a page, however, I prefer not to.
As before, I appreciate your help.

You have to select the slide thumbnail in Word and then use Format Picture
(or Format Object) to enlarge it. You could probably resize with a macro,
but for just one presentation, that's way more trouble than it's worth.

There are a couple handout add-ins you might want to try, though. They'll
make it easier to do this.
