Chap 4: Review and deliver presentations

4.1. Previewing and printing presentations

Before you print, you can preview how the slides will look on paper. You perform this type of preview on the Print page of the Backstage view, where the presentation’s slides appear in the right pane. 

When you’re ready to print, you don’t have to leave the Backstage view. You can simply click the Print button to print one copy of each slide on the default printer.

If the default settings aren’t what you want, you can make the following changes on the Print page:

• Number of copies: Click the arrows to adjust the Copies setting.
• Which printer: If you have more than one printer available, specify the printer you want to use and set its properties (such as paper source and image compression).
• Which slides to print: You can print all the slides, the selected slides, or the current slide. To print only specific slides, click the Slides box, and enter the slide numbers and ranges separated by commas (no spaces). For example, enter 1, 5, 10-12 to print slides 1, 5, 10, 11, and 12.
• What to print: From the Print Layout gallery, specify whether to print slides (one per page), notes pages (one half-size slide per page with space for notes), or an outline. You can also print handouts, specifying the number of slides that print on each page (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9) and their order.

4.2. Delivering presentations

To deliver a presentation to an audience, you start by displaying the first slide full screen. Then depending on how you have set up the presentation, you can either click the mouse button without moving the mouse to display the slides in sequence, or you can allow PowerPoint to display the slides according to the timings you have set on the Transitions tab. 

From Slide Show Tab, Start Slide Show group, click on From Beginning button.
