Question: How can I print a PowerPoint presentation from Blackboard without using up so much paper?

Answer: This can be done by printing multiple slides on one page.  Here are the instructions for PowerPoint 2000:

  1. Select File from the Menu Bar at the top of the window.  From the File drop down menu, select Print: 

  2. From the new Print window that opens, look in the bottom area where it says Print What:

  3. In the Print What field you will see the word "Slides."  Click the downward pointing arrow next to the word Slides. 

  4. A drop down menu will appear.  From it, select the Handouts option:

  5. Next to the Print What field, you will see a box labeled "Handouts."  In the Slides per Page field you will see the number 6.  By clicking the down arrow next to the 6, you can select the number of slides to print to a page.  6 is usually a good setting.

  6. Click the OK button in the lower right of your Print window, and your slides will print, six of them to a page.

 

NOTE: The procedure for printing multiple slides to a page in PowerPoint XP or 2002 is exactly the same.
