<h3>How do I print 2 slides per page from OpenOffice.org Presentation (one
above the other)?</h3>
 
<p>Follow these steps:  </p>
 
<ol>
 	
  <li>
    Change to Handout View (4th button 	down
on right edge of window)  	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Make sure the Presentation Toolbar 	is
open (View-&gt;Toolbars-&gt;Presentation)  	
 	</li>
  <li><!-- TODO: need to add a picture of the presentation toolbar and add 
	language to	better tell how to get into the toolbar if it is not showing -->
    Click <b>Modify Slide Layout</b> on the 	<b>Presentation
    Toolbar</b>, choose the side by side 2 slides per page 	icon, and click OK. 
		<br/><b>NOTE:</b> &nbsp;You should be in Background Mode for 	handouts.  	
 	
	</li>
  <li>
    Choose <b>Format-Page</b>, click the 	Portrait button in the Paper Format 
		area and click OK.  	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Drag the slides so they are one 	above the other.  	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Click to select the top slide, 	choose Format--&gt;Position and size, click
		the Match button (to 	resize proportionally),
    type 5.65 for width and click OK.  	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Repeat step 6 for the bottom 	slide.
 	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Drag the slides so they are lined up on the bottom and top of the margin 
		lines.  	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Shift-click to select both slides, 	click and release the Right mouse 
		button (bringing up the Context 	menu) and choose
    Alignment--&gt;Center (not Centered).  
 	</li>
  <li>
    While the 2 slides are still selected, drag to center them 	left to
    right on the page.  	
 </li>
</ol>
 
<p>Additional options:  </p>
 
<ul>
 	
  <li>
    Use the Line tool to put a 	horizontal
    line between the 2 slides.  	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Choose <b>Insert-Fields-Page Numbers</b> to insert a page 	number
    on each page. <br/>
	<b>Note:</b> &nbsp;	Be sure to label the slides Slide 1, Slide 2, 	etc to avoid
    confusion between slide # and page #, <li>Move it to the 	bottom of the page
    and then resize the font to around 10 (it's 	easier to move it when the
		font size is larger).  	
 </li>
</ul>
 
<p>To print the handouts:  </p>
 
<ol>
 	
  <li>
    Choose File-&gt;Print and click 	the Options button.  	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Click to check Handouts in the 	Contents area. 	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Be sure to uncheck Drawing if you don't want to print a set of full-sized
		(1 slide per page) slides as 	well.  	
 	</li>
  <li>
    Click OK, and click OK again to print.  	
 </li>
</ol>
