But the Microsoft presets are not optimal. Just a simple option to provide better printouts. Set to 1 by 2, the small print preview should look like the below example.Īs you can see, side-by-side, the Adobe Acrobat 2-up PDF printout on the left has larger slide images than the PowerPoint 2-up printout, the Adobe Acrobat 2-up takes up the page significantly more than PowerPoint does.

When planning the posts for this month it made sense to include this tutorial again. Note: this is a re-post, originally posted April 4, 2016. If you are looking to confirm how many slides are in a presentation, this may not be the accurate number (if there are hidden slides in the deck). So if you need to manually jump to a specific slide in a presentation – while presenting, that is the number to use. The way I am explaining the thumbnail page numbers is they are the slide number, not the slide show number. I find the all of the above to be possible answers. Good? Bad? Confusing? Helpful? Not Helpful? The hidden slides still count as numbers to the print out jumps from slide 1 to slide 4: The print page number is still perfect, but the thumbnail slide numbers match the actual slide number not the slide show number. We have the print page number and the thumbnail slide numbers look perfect:īut if we do not print the hidden slides, things may be a bit confusing. Printing this slide deck as a 2-up handout WITH hidden slides included looks like this. Here is my sample slide deck, 15 slides and 2 slides (#2 and #3) hidden. Let’s look at this feature a bit closer and a scenario where it may not be as helpful as you had hoped. Go to FILE > OPTIONS > ADVANCED > PRINT > PRINT SLIDE NUMBERS ON HANDOUTS
#Quick print tlc update#
This feature has been turned on by default with a recent Office update (note: I am currently running the Insider Fast, or Monthly Targeted, build and have not verified if this feature has rolled out to all update cycles – if you do not see it, it is coming soon). We had the print page number, but this 6-up layout meant manually counting slides to know which slide number the thumbnail represented.īut now there is an option to add slide numbers outside the thumbnails!! Traditionally making a print of slides for reference was a bit confusing as to what slide number was being referenced.

A new feature snuck into PowerPoint unannounced (PowerPoint for Windows, Mac version coming soon, mobile/web versions – uncertain), and it is either fantastic or a frustration, depending on what you need!
