Printing slides from Powerpoint Viewer

[Melissa]

I have downloaded the PowerPoint Viewer and I need to
print out slides. I need to print out the slides with
either 3 or 6 on each page, but when I go to print, there
is no option of printing handouts with multiple slides
per page. I know that other people have this print
option but for some reason I don't. Does anyone have an
idea why this is happening or how I would be able to
print out multiple slides per page? Any suggestions
would be helpful. Thanks.

The Viewer only offers printing of slides, one per page. If you know
someone who is printing handouts (multiple slides per page), it's because
they have the full PowerPoint application installed.

PowerPoint prints multiple slides per page but the free Viewer doesn't.
My guess is that the other folks have a full copy of PowerPoint.

Hello,

PowerPoint Viewer 2003 prints slides (1 per page) the way they would print
from PowerPoint if you had chosen the print options to print slides in
color. To have additional options for printing your slides you would have
to print them from PowerPoint (not from the PowerPoint Viewer).

If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that the
PowerPoint Viewer provide some additional print options, don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

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

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that 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 so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

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