My presentation has over 60 slides. The last thing I want is 60 pages for my
notes (not handouts). I've tried duplicating the elements on the Notes
Master, but it prints only blanks or what is in the layout - not what is in
the presentation - except for the first slide.

I realize I'm trying to create a custom Notes Master, but I can't figure out
to get the notes on the Handouts Master or multple slides and notes on the
Notes master.

So, how can I create a custom Master with either one so that I have 3 or 4
slides per page with their associated notes?

Thank you,

Laura Douglas

Hi Laura,

use File - Send to - Microsoft Word. There's one layout with 3 slides plus
notes. And you can edit the document in Word to make it even shorter.

Best regards,
Ute

Hope this isn't a duplicate, but I couldn't find my original info request here.

I have a presentation with 60 slides. Needless to say, I don't want to
juggle 60 pages as a cheat-sheet with my notes. How can I create a custom
Notes Master similar to the 3 or 4 slides per sheet handouts and have my
brief notes for each slide show?

I have tried copy-paste with the elements on the Notes Master, but it still
only shows one slide and one notes per page with the layout information in
the pasted positions.

I have tried copy-paste the notes section onto the Handout Master, but it
doesn't pull the notes.

Is there a way to create what I need? If so, how?

Thanks so much.

Laura

Hi, Ute,

Do I use the 3-slide Handouts Master to Send-to or is there one available in
the Notes Master?

Thanks,

Laura

You start the "Send to" from Normal view, not with any Handouts Master. You
will be prompted for the layout of the Word document in a dialog.

Best regards,
Ute

So I have absolutely no idea how to get 3 or 4 slides on one page with the
notes I took in class....i have over 60 slides and I don't want to be
printing that many pages. I've done this before in high school, but nowhere
on Powerpoint does it give me that option.

Can you tell me how to do this step by step?

Some printers allow you to print more than 1 document page per printe
pages. N-up option where you can say 2 pages per or 4 pages per. Depends
on the printer. What model of printer are you using?
