With all these options available, why settle for the default when you can tailor-make your printouts and handouts?īelow, we've shown you several options including how to print PowerPoint slides with speaker notes in Mac. In addition, you have the option to print the slides with and without slide numbers.
Similarly, the file can be printed as handouts for the audience, which prints multiple slides to each page, and this is customizable based on what you need for the members of your audience. Outlines, for example, will exclude all images from the PPT and only print the text content. But there are other elements and layouts possible, such as speaker notes and outlines. Normally, when you print out a presentation on Mac or even Windows, PowerPoint will only print the slides as they'd appear in an actual presentation.

If you are on a Mac these things will not help much and the fix is easy. If I saved the file after printing to the SnagIt printer, this Notes Pages page size was retained. It seems that SnagIt was tampering with the Notes Pages page size when I was printing slides. If I reprinted the slides to the SnagIt printer and select Letter page size in the Printer properties, all was returned to Normal on my Notes Page images. (At this size it is easier to crop and resize them for the exact dimensions I needed.) Somehow, SnagIt decided to change the Notes Pages to legal/portrait size. (If you print a slide deck to the SnagIt printer, you get a paged file of slide images that you can easily copy and paste into a Word doc.)Īnyway, I was changing the Paper Size in the SnagIt printer properties to legal landscape size before printing the PowerPoint slides. It is much faster to print the entire slide deck to the SnagIt printer rather than screen-capture individual slides.

What on earth can cause the Notes Page to just suddenly change dimensions? I looked at my Windows Updates and don’t see any recent Office 2016 updates. It takes a long time to get everything back in shape! (Renaming the file extension from PPTX to ZIP, fixing the dimensions in the appropriate XML file, and then renaming the file back to PPTX.) However, I then have to return to the “fixed” PowerPoint file, fix the size and placement of the placeholders on the Notes Master, and reapply that master to each Notes Page– one at a time–for everything to look as it is supposed to. I found a post on a different explaining how to use the PowerPoint file’s XML capability to reset the Notes Pages size, and this works. The text is still on the Notes Pages, thank goodness. Suddenly, the default page size for the Notes Pages is changing to a different size–it looks like Legal Portrait size. These files have been “in process” for 1.5 years and I am now finalizing them.
I have a series of PowerPoint files for which I’ve added formatted Facilitator Notes using Notes Pages (and the Notes Master to set up the initial formatting).
