00:00:07.810 --> 00:00:11.920
PowerPoint presentations are designed to
be presented to an audience but

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:14.690
sometimes you might need to print them,
too.

00:00:14.690 --> 00:00:18.480
That's why it's important to understand
the basics of printing and also the

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.050
options that are unique to PowerPoint.

00:00:21.050 --> 00:00:26.430
To get started go ahead and navigate to
the Backstage view, then click Print in

00:00:26.430 --> 00:00:27.580
the left pane.

00:00:27.580 --> 00:00:31.880
Here you'll find everything you need to
print your presentation, including a

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:35.340
preview and a place to adjust your
settings.

00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.320
Now we could just enter the number of
copies we want and click the print

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:44.980
button right away, but before we do that
when we take a look at some of the options below.

00:00:44.980 --> 00:00:49.050
If you're connected to more than one
printer for example you can use the menu

00:00:49.050 --> 00:00:51.910
here to choose the one you want.

00:00:51.910 --> 00:00:55.670
You can also enter a custom slide range
if you're working with a longer

00:00:55.670 --> 00:01:00.550
presentation and you only want to print
certain sides. Otherwise, Print All

00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:04.700
should work just fine.

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:10.800
Next up is page layout, where we can decide how your slides are going to be arranged on printed page.

00:01:10.810 --> 00:01:13.990
Let's take a closer look at some of
these options.

00:01:13.990 --> 00:01:17.880
Full-page slides is the default. As you
can see from the preview on the right

00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:23.520
this will put each of your slides on
its own separate page.

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:27.710
If we choose Notes page, the printout will
include any notes that you've added to

00:01:27.710 --> 00:01:32.880
the side which makes it really easy to
reference as well you're presenting.

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.810
The next option is called Outline.

00:01:35.810 --> 00:01:40.360
This one is unique because it prints
only the text from your sides instead of

00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:44.759
the slides themselves. Some presenters
like to use this as a guide to help them

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:47.670
remember the flow of their presentation.

00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:50.970
Finally, we have a wide variety of
handouts to choose from.

00:01:50.970 --> 00:01:56.750
These work really well if you want to give your audience a hard copy of your presentation.

00:01:56.750 --> 00:02:01.800
I like the layout that has three slides
because it includes space for people to

00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:04.460
write their own notes and comments.

00:02:04.460 --> 00:02:09.209
One of the last things I'm going to do
is switch from full color to grayscale,

00:02:09.209 --> 00:02:13.120
which can really save on printer ink.

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.370
When you're ready go ahead and click the
print button at the top of the pane

00:02:18.370 --> 00:02:21.060
and now you just have to wait for
presentation to finish printing!
