Tip
After designing a handout, you may wish to save it in a template so you
can reuse it whenever you want. See “Working with templates” in
Chapter 2 (Slide Masters, Styles, and Templates) for instructions on
saving templates and starting a new presentation from a template.
Caution
If you click on one of the other handout layouts and then return to the
one you have reformatted, the slide thumbnails return to their original
positions, although any lines or other graphics you have added remain
where you put them. You will need to move the thumbnails back to where
you want them.
Printing handouts
1) Choose File > Print from the menu bar.
2) On the General page of the Print dialog box, in the Print section, select
Handouts in the Document list. Specify the number of slides per page and the
order in which to print multiple slides.
Figure 165: Select Handouts for printing
3) To select which slides to include in the handouts, in the Range and copies
section of the General page, select Slides and specify the slide numbers to be
included.

For more about printing slides, notes, and handouts, see Chapter 10.
Exporting handouts to PDF
At present there is no way to export handouts to PDF; if you try, you get the slides
(one per page) instead. However, you can print to a PostScript file (if you have a
suitable printer driver installed) and then use another program (such as Ghostscript
or Adobe Distiller) to create a PDF from the PostScript file.
To create a PostScript file, follow the steps below:
1) Choose File > Print.
2) On the General page, choose Handouts in the Print section (see Figure 165)
and choose the range of handouts (slides) to be included (Figure 166).
