How To Print Microsoft Powerpoint™ Documents

1. After you have loaded your Powerpoint document, printing your slides out is easy. If you are using WebCT, please make sure to right-click on your document and hit print from there or if that option is not available, click once on the area where the slides are and then Pull down the File menu and select Print. A window will pop-up:

2. From here you have a variety of options and selecting the ones that fit your needs are simple.

3. If you need to print out more than one slide and up to 9 slides on a page simply select the drop-down menu under print what and go to handouts as shown by the red outline:

4. Next you may select how many slides you want per page up to 9 as well as selecting the orientation of those slides:

There also other options that you may want to choose such as a notes page or outline view of the slides. You can select which slides to print and how many copies you would like.

5. From here you can select the OK button after you have chosen how you want to print the document, making sure to follow the printing instructions.

Troubleshooting

The printer is printing my file very slowly.

Most PDF files may take a while and most likely will not show up at the print station until it has been completely sent over, a dialog box will show up showing the progress of the print job and when it disappears your print job has been sent over to the designated printer.

After printing a document from within WebCT or another website with frames, I got a blank page.

You have most likely printed the document out the incorrect way, make sure that when you are using WebCT that you click on the area you want to print and from there either right click and hit print or Pull down the File menu and select Print. Otherwise you will be printing the area that surrounds your document in WebCT. Make sure to read the instructions on how to print out the various types of documents you might encounter in WebCT carefully:

• If you are trying to print an Adobe Acrobat PDF document usually found on Web CT please see "How to Print PDF Documents".
• If you are trying to print a Power Point Presentation and would like to know some of the options available to you please see "How to Print out Power Point Presentations"
