powerpoint >> Slides Shrunk on Handouts

by tballard » Tue, 18 May 2010 10:22:16 GMT

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

I have tried EVERYTHING and when I do a preview of my 6-to-the-page handouts, I see six TINY slides grouped in the upper left corner, taking 25% of the page. I cannot even read them when they print. <br>
I've tried page orientation, scale, custom, converting to PDF, changing the number of slides per page. <br>
I cannot get these slides to be scaled properly in order to print a legible handout. Hours of frustration. Help! Please.

First of all go to file> Page Setup & confirm that 'Slides sized for:' is
set to either 'On-Screen Show' or the preferred paper size... Also click the
Options button & confirm the paper size there.

In the Print dialog:

Select 'Handouts (six slides per page)' from the 'Print What:' list,
Confirm that 'Scale to fit paper' is not checked,
Open the 'Copies & Pages' list;
Select 'Layout' & confirm 1 as 'Pages per sheet', then
Select 'Paper Handling' & confirm 'Use documents paper size'

If you still have a problem the question pertaining to updates. Make sure
that Office (12.2.4) & OS X (10.6.3) are fully updated. Even more important,
check the mfr's web site for an updated driver for your printer.

1. Shrink margins when printing handouts 

I'm trying to use as much of the page as possible when printing a 2-up 
handout... it defaults to too much blank space.  So far haven't had any luck 
w/ the page setup/margins.  Thanks!

2. Shrink animation doesn't shrink whole picture!

3. Grow/shrink animation - how can I get it something to "shrink" 

NB If you just use larger (150%) and smaller (50%) the object will end up a 
fair bit smaller than it started.

5. Handouts w/ Slides+Notes 

Is there any way to print handouts with slides and notes?

7. printing photos in handouts/slides 

Having trouble printing photos to handouts or slides.  They will show
up when color option is selected, but as a black box when a greyscale
or b&w option is selected.  Also, when the file is saved as a PDF
photos show up as a black box in the color preview of the slides. 
These pics are taken from iphoto as .jpg's but when save as a .tff (in
iphoto) and imported there is no difference.  Any other options I'm
missing here?
