PowerPoint 2016: How to print slides and presentations

The Print control window makes it easy to preview and print your presentation when needed.

Print layouts

PowerPoint offers several layouts to choose from when users want to print a presentation. The layout you choose will largely depend on why you want to print the presentation. There are 4 types of print layouts.

  1. Full Page Slides : This option prints the entire page for each slide in the presentation. This layout is most useful if you need to review or edit a printed version of your presentation.
