Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to Printing Handouts in PowerPoint
    In this section, we will explore how to print handouts in PowerPoint. Handouts are useful for sharing presentation content with an audience. The process involves selecting the appropriate settings in the Print view and making necessary adjustments in the handout master.
  2. Accessing Print View
    To begin printing handouts, click on 'File' and then select 'Print' to open the Print view. Here, you can choose the type of handout you want by clicking the 'Page Layout' button. For example, you can select '4 slides to a page' in a horizontal layout.
  3. Choosing Page Orientation
    After selecting the handout type, scroll down to choose the page orientation. You can opt for either portrait or landscape. In this case, we will select landscape. PowerPoint will remember these selections for future print jobs.
  4. Adding Header and Footer Text
    In Print view, you can also add header or footer text to your handouts. Click on 'Edit Header' to open the dialog box. Ensure the 'Notes and Handouts' tab is selected. To add a header, check the header box and type your desired text. This will be visible in the print preview.
  5. Modifying Header and Footer Settings
    If you wish to remove the header text or page number, you will need to access the handout master. Return to normal view and navigate to the 'Handout Master' tab. Here, you will find options to show or hide header and footer placeholders. Uncheck any placeholders you do not need, such as the date or text footer.
  6. Formatting the Handout Master
    You can also format the placeholders in the handout master. For instance, to center the header, select the header placeholder and click on the 'Drawing Tools Format' tab. Adjust the font size to 14 and center the text by moving the placeholder down slightly. Repeat similar formatting for the page number placeholder.
  7. Closing the Handout Master
    Once you have made all necessary adjustments, close the handout master by clicking the 'Handout Master' tab and selecting 'Close Master View.'
  8. Previewing and Printing the Handouts
    Reopen Print view to preview your handouts. The header and footer information should now reflect the changes made in the handout master. Once satisfied with the layout, you are ready to print your handouts. These settings will apply to all subsequent handouts for this presentation.
  9. Conclusion
    In summary, this tutorial covered the steps to print handouts in PowerPoint, including selecting handout types, adjusting page orientation, and customizing headers and footers using the handout master. These skills enhance the presentation experience by providing well-organized handouts.
