Tips for Making Great Handouts in Powerpoint

You can make handouts in PowerPoint by formatting the Handout Master.

1. Choose View > Master > Handout Master
2. To print them, choose File > Print and choose Handouts in the Print What drop-down list
3. Change the settings in the Handouts section of the Print dialog box and click OK

But, these handouts are basically just a copy of your presentation. You have more flexibility by sending the presentation to Microsoft Word.

1. Choose File > Send To > Microsoft Word
2. In the Send To Microsoft Word dialog box, choose one of the options and click OK. You even have the option to create a link (choose Paste Link) so that the Word document is updated if you change your presentation
