I work for lab support at a large university. We are having problems with many of the students who want to print out powerpoint presentations from their professors. They download the 40 (or 50, or 100) slide presentation, and then want to print it out. When they go to FILE -> PRINT, and the print manager defaults to printing 'SLIDES' which prints 1 slide per page. This is unnecessary, and wastes a lot of paper, toner, and time. What we would like is to set a default of printing 'HANDOUTS' and 3 or 6 slides per page. I have scoured the microsoft knowledge base, as well as the web, and I can't see any capabilities to change this default.

Does anyone have any ideas, or can point me to some better references? -shane dunlap please remove 'nospam' from the reply address. +=================================+ I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe. +========+---------------+========+ __o _`.

I am on a MacBook using PowerPoint 2008. I tried both 'save as.' A pdf and clicking on 'print' and then saving as pdf, but somehow every paragraph in the text ends with an exclamation point and all the body text in two of the slides are missing.

DOTA 2 DOTA 2 is another popular multiplayer online battle arena game which, in essence, is a lot like League of Legends. Dmm game player for mac. In order to run the game, you’ll require a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 or higher, with a 2GHz processor, at least 2GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT or better GPU. The game manages to run on Intel HD graphics as well, but the experience won’t be as good as you’d expect.

Let me make myself a bit clearer: I understand that you can CHOOSE to print handouts. That's not the problem. The problem is that the average computer IQ of our lab users is equivalent to that of a 3 week old halloween pumpkin. They just want to print out the notes from their classes, and they just assume that the computer will KNOW what type of format they want to print. They click on the print button, and by default, SLIDES get printed. The user doesn't even know this until they go and wait in line at the printer and collect their output, which is a stack of 100 pages, 1 slide per page. (It's quite an accomplishment for most users when they're even able to download the presentation from the prof's web site without assistance.) What we're looking for is to change the *DEFAULT* print setting to print HANDOUTS.

IE, a user clicks on FILE ->Microsoft office home & student 2016 for mac download. PRINT then hits the print button **without changing any other settings** and PowerPoint prints out 6 slides per page by default, and the user has to *TAKE* action to print out 3 slides per page, or handouts. Is it possible to make 6 slides per page the **DEFAULT**??

Steve Rindsberg, 0:00 น. I really don't need the shouting or the condescension.

I'll give it another shot. Please do read it a bit more carefully this time. The person who saves the presentation (the prof, presumably) should go to Tools, Options, choose the Print tab and set the options there to: - Use the following default print settings - Handouts (6 slides per page) - Whatever options they like THEN save the presentation. If someone else opens the presentation and clicks the print button, it will print 6-up handouts by default.

If you've tried that and it doesn't work for some reason, please say so. The only alternative I'm aware of is to write a VBA add-in that removes the normal print buttons and menu options and substitutes those of your own devising. A good bit of work, as you might imagine. -- Steve Rindsberg, PowerPoint MVP PPT FAQ - RnR PPTools - ZAP! For service bureaus - shane dunlap wrote in message news:39F73CC6.D2511DCF@uwm.edu.
