I print out hundreds of pages of handouts (6 slides per
page) a year at school. Is there a way to print on both
sides of the paper? With Word I can print even pages, put
them back into the paper tray, and print the odd side,
saving paper & space. I do not find these print options
for Powerpoint. I run Office XP Professional.
 
It is a slow process, but in the print options box, click on slides. and if you
have 6 slides per page, and lets say you have 24 slides in your presentation
then insert 1,2,3,4,5,6,13,14,15,16,17,18 print the odd pages, flip them in and
repeat the process with 7,8,9,10,11,12,19,20 21,22,23,24 you get the idea. this
is the only way I have found to be able to do this.

Much along the lines of Michael's suggestion, for large presentations I have
first created a PDF, with allows for PRINT ODD PAGES and PRINT EVEN PAGES.
An extra step at the computer, but faster at the printer.

Not with normal PPT handouts, but Shyam's Handout Wizard might be just the
thing. Have a look at www.mvps.org/skp

Since it makes a presentation in which the slides are actually the handouts, if
I have it right, then you could tell PPT to print Slides 1,3,5,7,9,11 etc, then
flip the stack and have it print 2,4,6,8,10 and anon.

What a neat idea.
 
Absolutely correct as usual. Thanks echo



You can also do 1-6,13-18, and then 7-12,19-24 (which may be a bit
faster).
 
You could by a cheap Hewlett Packard inkjet printer with
the duplexing attachment.

The duplexing attachment actually "turns the paper over"
inside the printer.

Thanks Steve, Entering the numbers in that way makes
sense. I will take a look at that website too.
 
Good suggestion, just tried it and it is not too painful.
I just wish that you could copy and paste into that print
box!

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for.
Automatic two-sided printing is only available with printers which support
duplex printer.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality (duplex printing wizard for
non-duplex printers), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN
WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
