Before printing, you should verify that the slides looks the way you want. You save time, money, and paper by avoiding duplicate printing. Print Preview shows you exactly how your slides will look on each printed page. The Print Preview toolbar provides the tools you need to proof the look of each slide. You can print all the elements of your presentation ”the slides, outline, notes, and handouts ”in either color or black and white. The Print dialog box offers standard Windows features, giving you the option to print multiple copies, specify ranges, access printer properties, and print to a file. When you print an outline, PowerPoint prints the presentation outline as shown in Outline view. Preview a Presentation -
