Microsoft office team,
Being able to change the slide spacing really needs to be included in
PowerPoint. You could promote it as an eco-friendly move. People could print
more slides per page without the text becoming too small, thus saving paper.
I am not sure why there needs to be so much white space between slides anyway.

Thanks!

You can print up to 9 slides per page when printing to handouts. Isn't that
enough? The only other option is to use the send to Word option and
manipulate the tables once in Word.

I, too, would love to change the layouts for printing. I want /need larger
windows and less margins in the 2 and 3 per page handouts.
Yes, I 've done it in Word, and yes it's a mess.
Let us take margins down to 1/2 inch and enlarge the slide area, give more
notes room....
Sorry, I 'm in an educational setting and there is often much too much info
on the slides I am sent for printing to print in small squares.

I'm off to try that free trial!

I agree w/ Dottie - the ability to re-size the slides in the handout should
be a function and the Help leads one to believe it could be done. 2 slides
per handout that are legible is the desire vs. 1 per page. Sure we "can
print up to 9 slides per page", but you'd need a magnifying glass. Please
Microsoft - correct this.

Count me in as another one interested in this feature. I saw the HandOut
Wizard, but it seems to be for Windows only. Is there anything for Office for
Mac?

I agree...my professors put on soo much text that its hard to read...I'd like
to save paper and have some room for notes but i can't read all the info.
when I do 4 slides or more and 2 slide still is small. White space needs to
be mulipuatable!
