Unfortunately "handouts" aren't what I am looking for - they are the (typically six-up) slide-only sheets. The "Notes" pages print one slide per sheet, with the bottom half containing the printed notes I wrote in PowerPoint.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15732819755000554717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496482.post-52453300526338946582009-02-14T03:27:00.000-05:002009-02-14T03:27:00.000-05:00Okay - I downloaded and installed OO on my windoze...Okay - I downloaded and installed OO on my windoze machine. And yes, there's no obvious way to export to pdf without getting the slides first, followed by the slide/notes. How annoying. <BR/><BR/>Good luck on it!<BR/><BR/>(Hrmmm this may be a second posting.

So maybe if you search for handouts in the help it'll let you know how to do that on windoze.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110591530526601977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496482.post-21907334098314114652009-02-13T18:12:00.000-05:002009-02-13T18:12:00.000-05:00Thanks, Glyph.

It has three sections: "Quality" (Default, Grayscale or Black & white), "Print (Page name, Date, Time, Hidden pages) and "Page Options" (Default. Fit to page, Tile pages, Brochure and Paper tray form printer settings).<BR/><BR/>This is 3.0.0 on Windows.
