Printing - Power Point Viewer

[Guest]

Is there a way to print multiple slides to a page though Power Point Viewer?
I do not have Power Point and installed the Viewer to review presentations.
However, when I go to print the presentation I do not see an option to print
more than one slide per page -- Wasting a lot of paper.

Thanks,
Chris B.

Hi Chris,

The PowerPoint Viewer allows for printing of 1 slide per page only. You
would need the full version of PowerPoint to print multiple slides per
pages.

But wait .... shhhh .... can you keep a secret?

You can use Shyam's Handout Wizard to create a presentation of your
presentation's slides and save it to the same folder as your main
presentation. Then insert a hyperlink (in your main presentation) to the
Handout presentation and print from there. You will be printing single
slides of the handout presentation but they will show multiple slides of the
main presentation.

A few more steps, but a lot less paper waste.

Er ... um .... but Chris sez that there's no PowerPoint there, just the viewer.
You *know* how Shyam feels about running macros in the viewer, Bill.
Let's not get him all cranked up. ;-)

Chris ... you'd need the full PowerPoint to run Shyam's add-in; the viewer
doesn't support add-ins.

Doh!

I was in set-up/design mode and forgot the OP wasn't. My bad.

It is useful technique, but has to be used by the person creating/editing
the presentation with the full version of PowerPoint, not just the viewer.
Sorry Chris.
