printing handouts problem

[Guest]

when printing handouts is there any way to edit the template to adjust the size of the each slide on the page? I do a presentation every week where the handout sheet has 6 slides per page but the only person who needs the handout is me. I would like to have the margins between the slides diminished so the text appears larger. I don't need any notes etc. just the slides themselves, only bigger.

Why don't you use the send to word function, then customize the word document
anyway you want

If you do this every week, it might be worth your while to take a look at
the "Handout Wizard" at http://www.mvps.org/skp/how/

the "send to" function doesn't allow me to choose an option that doesn't include a space for notes. I have tried to play with the design but have been unable to make any headway to a solution that is satisfactory. Any other suggestions

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded a trial copy and will play with it later in the week. Thanks again

Which version of PowerPoint are you using? The send to option should give you 5
options

1. Notes next to slide
2. Blank lines next to slides
3. Notes below slide
4. Blank lines below slide
5. Outline only

Additional information:
Send to Word creates a table in Word for options 1 and 2 on Michael's list.
If you don't want the note space, but do want multiple slides on a page, use
one of those options then do a Format--> Columns and change from one column
pages to two column pages. You should end up with six slides per page with
the numbering you need. (If you are going to do this frequently, you can set
up a macro in Word that will do the re-formatting for you.)

(Having said all that, I really think that you will like the handout wizard
that Sonia recommended and will end up using it.)

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for.
The layout and margins of handout pages, and size of slide images, are not
customizable in PowerPoint. As a workaround, you can export your slides to
Word.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide some kind of customizable margin and/or layout options for printing
handouts from PowerPoint (without having to rely on Word, VBA or add-ins),
don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft
at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
