Handouts can benefit your audience because they can take home ideas and tips from your presentation. You control what goes into your handouts. You don't have to print every slide in the presentation. Doing so would only cost you paper and would not necessarily benefit your audience. Instead, select the slides that mean the most to your presentation. Consider the following handouts as important, depending on your presentation: -
Your presentation's title, goal, and your name -
Your contact information (website, phone number, email address, and so on) -
Critical ideas within your presentation -
Numerical examples the audience can study at their leisure -
Goals for the audience -
Take-home action items that the audience might want to do as a result of your presentation -
Products you or others sell that relate to your presentation and that will benefit your audience  TIP You'll use the Handout view to select specific handouts from your presentation.

Click OK to apply your changes. TIP Unlike the other materials you create in Impress, the Handouts Master contains areas for a header and footer. Because handouts are something you're likely to print, you'll probably want to include headers and footers to display information such as page numbers and the date of the presentation. | | 4. | Edit the Text
With the handouts showing, you can edit, rearrange, and add elements to them. For example, you can add a text box (by clicking the Text button on the Drawing toolbar) at the top and throughout the handouts for your audience.
