Create a PowerPoint handout from selected slides

March 10, 2011 by Ellen Finkelstein 2 Comments

A subscriber ask me how she could create a printed handout that contains only some of the slides in the presentation. She wanted to create a handout with 3 slides per page.

Presentation handouts: Yes or no, what kind, and when?

March 6, 2011 by Ellen Finkelstein 5 Comments
