This is Taylor from Nuts and Bolts Speed Training with how to print multiple
slides on one page in Microsoft PowerPoint.
This includes printing four slides per page or six slides per page.
I'll also show you how you can add your own company logo or other company design
element to your handouts to make them look more professional,
and then at the very end,
I'll show you how you can push your PowerPoint slides to Microsoft word so that
you can actually put blank lines or your notes in PowerPoint next to your slides
that you can then edit natively in Microsoft Word.
How to print multiple slides on one page.
So here's an example of a slide deck that I want to print multiple slides per
page as handouts.
Let's say I want four slides per page for a training that I'm doing.
To do that either hit control P on your keyboard for the print dialog box.
You can also come up to the file menu and select print here on the left.
If you don't want to learn the control P for print keyboard shortcut.
To get multiple slides per page, for my handout,
I simply come find the full page slides dropdown, open it up,
and if you scroll down,
you'll find all your different handout options here in PowerPoint.
So three slides, nine slides. I want four slides per page,
horizontal so I'll select it, look down here at my page number.
You can see that it's moving off of the paper size,
so I want to come back to that dropdown and make sure I select or unselect scale
to fit paper. Choose this to make sure that your um, slide number,
we'll talk about your footer and your header in a second. Fit on your slide.
Now notice I don't have a company logo, I don't have any design elements.
I'll show you how to add that in a minute to make your pie,
your handouts look a little bit more professional.
But just a couple of things to be aware of down here.
If you open up this dropdown, notice I have these page numbers for my slides.
So this is slide one, two, three,
four on top of having just page one of my handout.
If you don't want your slide numbers to show up next to your slides,
simply unselect print slide numbers on handouts,
you'll see that they're automatically removed. In this case,
I do want them on my handouts so people can follow along more easily.
The other thing to note here, I have a bunch of ink on my slides.
If you ink up your slides for training,
but you don't want that ink in the actual handouts themselves,
simply unselect print ink.
You're going to see that ink disappears here on my slide.
I'll just re-select it and you're going to see that ink pops back up.
Once you've made your selection or found the number of slides that you want on
your handouts,
and I'll talk about how you need to design your handout master according to how
many slides you want to print. That makes a big difference.
Simply select print or if you want the Microsoft print to PDF this will create a
PDF handout of your handouts with the multiple slides per page that you can then
hand out during your presentation.
Making your slide handouts look more professional to make your handouts look
more professional before you print them.
You want to navigate to the view tab and either select the handout master.
You can also a hidden keyboard shortcut.
Hold the shift key and click the slide sorter view will also jump you to the
handout master view.
Now here's where you're going to see the blank handouts as we have them. Again,
we don't have any company logos or design elements on them yet.
We'll add them in just a second. First off, you can remove your headers.
You can remove your footer, your date, your page number, et cetera,
simply by selecting them or unselecting them here in the handout master tab,
I'm just going to very simply drag a logo on.
I will align this one to the left and I'm just going to drag it to the right
over here. And because I have this kind of darker bottom footer,
I'll just quickly make my footer and page number white so they stand out.
Now right off the bat,
as you're doing the design elements here on your hand on master,
you need to make sure what or decide how many slides per page you actually want.
Because if I take my logo and I say put it right over the top of this four slide
layout, but then handout master slides per page.
I actually print nine slides per page.
You're going to see that my logo is actually overlaid on top of some of the
slides.
So this is where you want to first decide how many slides you want and then
format your handout master accordingly. Once you formatted your handout master,
I'll close the master view or control P to print this time to come back to the
print dialog box there you can see my page number, you can see my um,
date and time up top my logo on this design element.
I've added and if you want to put a footer and header,
simply come back to the normal view. I'll hit escape.
You want to come to the insert tab,
you want to come to the header and footer dialog box and make sure you select
notes and handouts. So this is the slide header and footer.
This is how you add your page numbers, et cetera,
which you can check out my other video.
There's a couple of tricks to doing that here. We want the notes and handout.
I'm just going to quickly type Nuts and Bolts Speed Training.
You can make it the.com and for the footer I'll just put PowerPoint Training.
I'll select apply to all all then control P to print and you're going to see the
PowerPoint Training down below and the Nuts and Bolts Speed Training header up
top.
So that's how to quickly format your handout master to make your handouts look a
little bit more professional before your presentation.
Printing multiple slides on one page with lines or notes next to them in
Microsoft Word to push your PowerPoint slides to Microsoft word simply come up
to the file menu and come to the export feature here on the left here you want
to come and find, create handouts, select create handouts. Again, this command,
and this is gonna give you a bunch of different options,
so notes next to slides, blank lines next to slides.
That's what we're going to choose here.
You have notes below slides which is the same as that you have in the print
dialog box, blank lines below slides, that's the same. This is the same,
so the only two that I really recommend using here are notes next to slide and
blank lines next to slide.
Now at the bottom you do have the option to just paste your slides to Microsoft
Word or to paste link. If you paste link,
what that will mean is the actual slide itself.
All the content on it will stay hooked up between the two so that if I later
come back and change this to the non-visible access technique,
I can then update my Word document later. So I'm just going to go file, export,
I usually create handouts, create handouts.
I do not paste link, I just paste.
I'm going to go blank lines next to slides and I'm going to click okay and this
sometimes takes a second to get going.
You're going to see Word opens up down below. I'll just come and select it.
You can see the slides populating now here in Microsoft word and after a while
you're going to see that this is done.
I'm going to come to the view tab just so you can see this side by side layout a
little bit more.
So here you can see all of the different pages or slides with notes next to
them. Now here in Microsoft Word,
this is really just a PowerPoint or a Microsoft word table and if you want to
learn how you can quickly format this by selecting things, deleting them,
and formatting. Check out my other video on how to print notes in PowerPoint,
but that is the fast way that you can print your notes,
your slides here into Microsoft Word with either notes or lines next to them so
that your audience can take notes while you give your training or presentation.
