How do I print two slides per page (two slides one below the other)?

Formatting

• Switch to the Master Handout view.
  • Select View ▸ Master Handout.
• Open the Properties sidebar deck.
• In the Layouts section, click on the slide layout you want to use (two or more slides)
• Apply the page orientation (Portrait or Landscape) that suits you: Slide ▸ Properties ▸ Page
• Move the slides and change their size (if necessary).
  • Press F4 or select Format ▸ Object and Shape ▸ Position and Size to manually enter position and size values.
• To return to the default layout, click on one of the predefined layouts in the Layouts.

Note: To see all of the slides, use Slide Sorter mode.

Additional Options

• Add decorative elements (note that you are in 'Background' in the 'Master Handout' mode)
  • Insert ▸ Image to insert a logo or other custom image
  • Use the Line tool from the Drawing toolbar to place a line between two slides or draw several lines for handwritten notes.
• The fields for header, date/time, footer and number can be displayed:

  • Make sure the options are selected in the Header and Footer dialog box: Insert ▸ Header and Footer ▸ Notes and Handouts
