Printing multiple Powerpoint slides
First, overall I believe that the library is doing a fine job. I began
as an undergrad at VCU in 2000 and can recognize the significant changes
since then.
However, I do have one recent problem with the library. I
have had difficulty finding an option on the open office suite to print
multiple powerpoint slides per page. Instead I end up wasting so much
paper to print one slide per page. I have been through the help
directory as well. Is there a way to print three or 6 slides per page?
If not this would be an unusual and damaging flaw to the program. Thank
You for your time.

It is possible to save some paper and money by printing multiple slides per page! It is however a less than intuitive. You want to print "Handouts".
To print only the handouts:
- File-->Print....
- Options (Button on the Print Dialog Box)
- Contents: (select only Handouts and be sure to unselect Drawing)
The default Handout setting is 4 slides per page. It is possible to increase this to 6 per page:
- Change View to Handout: View-->Master-->Handout
- Change default number: (Format-->Modify Layout)
- Follow previous instructions to Print (File-->Print: Options Button)
