Do you need to print a presentation?Do it with Google Slides

For this, the platform offers us different print options.It is possible to make impressions with speaker notes and place up to nine slides per page to save paper.

Print presentations with slides

The first thing we must do is access the Google Slides page by clicking on this link to its main website and open a new presentation.Subsequently, we click on "File" and move to the bottom of the drop -down menu where and click on "Printing and Prior View Configuration".

From this section we can adjust the orientation either horizontally or vertical.We can also adjust it even more, from the section of "1 slide without notes", which prints a slide per page with its notes, which is the most common orientation to have the Google slides printed.We can also choose other options that include the possibility of hiding the background to save ink and include omitted pages that we leave blank.

In addition, we have the possibility to save it as a PDF file, for which we must click "Download as PDF".Otherwise we click on "Print" and this will open a new window with a preview.

Subsequently we choose the printer, the pages we need, either some in particular or all, how many copies we need and color configuration.We can also make double print and change paper size if necessary.Once all the necessary steps are finished, we only have to click on the blue "print" button located at the bottom.

Make impressions with speaker notes

Add speaker notes is a good way to summarize each of the slides to prevent them from having too much text, getting the presenter to remember the key points and be able to keep the participants interested.

If we want to print them with these notes we also have this option available on Google Slides.There are ways to ensure that speaker notes also appear in the printed brochure, as they are easy both to add and delete.

To do this we must open a presentation and at the bottom of any slide we will find a box that indicates "click to add speakers".Here we must write our notes and then click on another part of the presentation to save them.

Once finished, click on the "Archive" tab and at the bottom we select the "Print and Prior View Configuration".Once the preview window is open, we must click on the button that puts "1 slide without notes".This will make us a list of options where we must select "1 slide with notes" as print style.With this selection it will show us the preview of the slide that we want to have printed with the speaker notes that we have added previously.

We only have to choose the rest of the options such as hiding the background or including omitted slides.Once we finish, click on the "Print" button located on the right side of the tool tape to generate a preview of the entire content.We only have to choose the destination, the pages and the printer.Once finished, press the blue "print" button to start.

Doble-Siding printing

One of the most common purposes for which we decided to have our slides is printed is to be able to review them better or to publish them as a footnote when making a conference.If the pages contain a lot of information and we do not want.We must take into account that this printing option does not necessarily affect the way the presentation is shown since it only affects the way it is printed.

To do this we open our presentation in Google Slides, we catch on the "file" tab in the upper left and then select "Printing and prior view configuration".Subsequently, click on "1 slide without notes" and an drop -down menu will open where we choose the "Design: 2 slides per page" option.This will allow us to configure the positioning, either in "vertical" or "horizontal".We can also configure it to hide the background and include omitted pages.

Subsequently, click on the "Print" button, select the printer, the desired pages and the pages by leaves.We must also ensure that the "print on both sides" is activated.Once finished, press the blue print button to start.

Make impressions like full page

Slides also allows us to have our slides printed according to our preferences, because we can decide but to make any change, adjust the orientation, which includes the speakers or climbing them so that they fit the paper.Sometimes we may be confused on how to print a presentation as a full page.

From the home page we open the document and then click on the "Archive" tab.Here we will find the printing option on which we will click or use its keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + P".This will cause a preview to be generated where we must select the option that says "more configurations".From here we must change the "predetermined" scale option to "adjust to the paper", so that the slide is in charge of adjusting the paper size.Once finished, click on the blue "print" button.
