Powerpoint For Mac 2011 Print Handouts With Notes

Reader Gary McDonald is not getting the results he desires from Keynote. He writes: I’ve recently switched from PowerPoint to Keynote. When I printed PowerPoint handouts I was able to put several slides on a page so that each slide took up one quarter of the page. When I print Keynote handouts using the Handout option in the Print sheet, I get four small slides along the left side of each page. How can I print Keynote handouts so they look like my old PowerPoint handouts? I don’t blame you for being confused. In order to do this correctly you have to visit a couple of areas of the Print sheet.

First, within the sheet, choose Layout from the pop-up menu. In the Pages per Sheet pop-up menu, choose 4 (or the number of slides you want to appear on each page). Next, click the pop-up menu that now reads Layout and choose Keynote. In the Print area of the resulting sheet, select Individual Slides rather than Handout. The preview to the left should display the neatly organized layout you’re after.

Print your PowerPoint slides or handouts Print your PowerPoint slides or handouts. (such as which slides to print and the layout for notes or handouts) as described in the following procedures. Select from the following options. If you are using PowerPoint 2011 for Mac, make your selections from the Print What pop-up box.
