How do I print 2 slides per page from OpenOffice.org Presentation (one
above the other)?
Follow these steps:
-
Change to Handout View (4th button down
on right edge of window)
-
Make sure the Presentation Toolbar is
open (View->Toolbars->Presentation)
-
Click Modify Slide Layout on the Presentation
Toolbar, choose the side by side 2 slides per page icon, and click OK.
NOTE: You should be in Background Mode for handouts.
-
Choose Format-Page, click the Portrait button in the Paper Format
area and click OK.
-
Drag the slides so they are one above the other.
-
Click to select the top slide, choose Format-->Position and size, click
the Match button (to resize proportionally),
type 5.65 for width and click OK.
-
Repeat step 6 for the bottom slide.
-
Drag the slides so they are lined up on the bottom and top of the margin
lines.
-
Shift-click to select both slides, click and release the Right mouse
button (bringing up the Context menu) and choose
Alignment-->Center (not Centered).
-
While the 2 slides are still selected, drag to center them left to
right on the page.
Additional options:
-
Use the Line tool to put a horizontal
line between the 2 slides.
-
Choose Insert-Fields-Page Numbers to insert a page number
on each page.
Note: Be sure to label the slides Slide 1, Slide 2, etc to avoid
confusion between slide # and page #, - Move it to the bottom of the page
and then resize the font to around 10 (it's easier to move it when the
font size is larger).
To print the handouts:
-
Choose File->Print and click the Options button.
-
Click to check Handouts in the Contents area.
-
Be sure to uncheck Drawing if you don't want to print a set of full-sized
(1 slide per page) slides as well.
-
Click OK, and click OK again to print.
