lengthy notes pages printing

[Ruth]

I am unable to print the full extent of the notes attached
to my powerpoint presentation usng Powerpoint 2000.
Although I can see the full extent on screen once these
are printed they are cut off leaving several out. Despite
adjusting paper orientation, master slide size, removing
headers and footers this is still a problem.

I am sure that I previously used to get continuation
sheets for notes that were over length.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ruth

No, PowerPoint has never done this.

If the notes page content runs off the page (or even past the printer's
printable area for that page size) it will get cut off. You'll have to
reformat it to fit or manually break it up somehow onto extra slides.

Ruth,
The only ways I know of to get notes to print over multiple pages are:
1) Set them up on multiple slides (duplicates of the original) and hide the
additional slides during play
2) Send the files to Word and print from there.

Hi Ruth,

did you use Print Preview to check whether your notes fit on the page? If
not, you should try this.

If your notes page looks fine in Print Preview, but is too large when
printed, this may be caused by printer settings. Which font did you use? One
of the standard ones (Arial, TimesNewRoman, etc.) or a more exotic one? In
the print dialog box you will find a button "More options", if you press
this you will be able to choose "Load Fonts into printer" (which in most
cases is NOT the default setting), tick this one (I can't give a more
detailed description, these options differ with different printers). This
might do the WYSIWYG-trick.

Kind regards,
Ute
