How to Print PowerPoint With Notes (Recommendations)

This might seem obvious, but to print your PowerPoint slides as handouts with notes, you first have to have notes typed into PowerPoint slides using the notes pane. If you have typed your notes in any other place other than the notes pane, your PowerPoint slides will not print with notes.

To double check that you have notes in your PowerPoint slides, simply open up the notes pane. In the Normal PowerPoint view, simply hit the Notes Shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+H.

Once the notes pane is open, you can resize it using your mouse. This is where you need to have your notes types if you want to be able to print your slides with notes, or see your speaker notes in the Presenter view of your presentation ALT+F5 on your keyboard.
Once you have speaker notes in your presentation, you can print them using the Normal print dialog box from the File Menu, or hit Print shortcut CTRL+P on your keyboard.

Within the Print Layout options, you can choose to either print your PowerPoint slides with notes directly below the slide thumbnail, or you can choose the 3-slide layout to print PowerPoint with lines to the right, allowing other people to take notes during your presentation.

Either way you go, assuming you are distributing your notes as handouts before or after your presentation, I highly recommend customizing your handouts with your company logo and contact information. Customizing your handouts in this way will not only make your handouts look more professional, it also enables people to get in touch with you after the fact if they need more help – generating more leads and clients for your business.

You can customize your handouts in this way using either the Notes Master or the Handout Master in PowerPoint, just as you would normally edit a PowerPoint slide. See the video tutorial for details on how to do this.

If you want to get multiple slides on a same page with your notes, all you need to do is export your PowerPoint slides to word using the Create Handout features.

This allows you to not only print multiple slides on the same page with notes, it also allows you to print just your notes in PowerPoint. See my other PowerPoint YouTube video below for step-by-step instructions.
