Printing Multiple PowerPoint Slides on One Page: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you tired of printing out individual slides from your PowerPoint presentation, only to waste reams of paper? Look no further! Printing multiple slides on a single sheet of paper is a simple and convenient way to conserve paper while still being able to view your presentation. In this article, we'll walk you through the process step by step.

The Drawback of iPhoto

Before we dive into printing multiple slides, it's essential to note that using iPhoto as a workaround for streaming presentations from Mac to Apple TV has its limitations. When you sync an album to the Apple TV, you can't stream a presentation with transitions and builds because these features are lost during the syncing process.

Setting Up Your Presentation

To print multiple slides on one page, follow these steps:

1. Set up your Apple TV using iTunes to sync the new iPhoto album.

2. Create a new album in iPhoto and import the folder of images representing your presentation into this album.

3. Export your presentation as a series of image files in TIFF format.

Customizing Your Printouts

When exporting your presentation, you can choose how the slides are bound together. Options include Short-Edge binding, which flips the pages on the top edge, and Long-Edge binding, which flips the pages like a book (on the left-hand side).

Before clicking 'Print,' open the 'Copies & Pages' button to set up multiple slides per page. You can choose from 4, 6, or even 3 slides per page, depending on your needs.

Printing Your Presentation

To print your presentation, follow these steps:

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation and click 'File' > 'Print.'

2. In the Print window, select 'Multiple PowerPoint Slides' from the drop-down menu.

3. Choose your preferred layout, such as 4 slides per page or 6 slides per page with lines for in-class notes.

Tips and Variations

* To conserve more paper, print double-sided.

* If you want to take notes on your printouts, choose 3 slides per page.

* Experiment with different layouts to find the one that works best for your needs.

By following these simple steps, you can efficiently print multiple PowerPoint slides on a single sheet of paper, saving time and resources while still being able to view your presentation.
