I want to print "odd then even" pages in Power Point

I want to print my slides on the front and on the back. Without having to
type in 1,3,5,7,9...and so on.
TIA,
 
How about using the Print "Selection" and using the slide sorter to select
every other slide? Just hold down the Ctrl key as you select each slide. It's
better to print even slides first and in reverse order, and then odd slides,
(but not in reverse order), unless your printer has a duplex facility. Does
this help?
 
Rae,

That's great news! Man! What a neat trick!

I'm a little confused on "reverse" order printing...Can you explain a little
more?
Thanks!
Glenda

It depends on how your printer stacks the output pages.

For example, if you choose 2,4,6,8 and the printer stacks them face up, you'll
have a stack with 8,6,4,2, or turned over and inserted for printing again, 2,4,6,8

In that case, printing 1,3,5,7 would work.

But if the printer stacks the output 2,4,6,8 the way many laser printers do, you'd
have to manually reverse the order before putting the stack back in the printer.

If this doesn't make sense, just try it both ways with a 6 page presentation or
 
Steve explained the printing very well.

One other reason to print even numbers first is to ensure that you get the
right match. Image if you have 5 pages and you print 1, 3 and 5 and then turn
over to print on the back. You get page 4 on the back of page 5, page 3 on
the back of page 2 and then have nothing on the back of page one. It doesn't
really matter when the total number of pages is an even number, but it's good
practice so you don't get caught out!

That's where you use the rubber stamp that says:
