Facing Pages in Handouts?

[Rick Altman]

I am going to be creating handouts in PowerPoint for, like, maybe the first
time in over 17 years of use with the software (I was trying for a perfect
lifetime record...oh well...). My client wants to know if it is possible to
create footers that understand right- and left-side pages -- in other words,
create a facing-page layout with numbering on the outside and text on the
inside. I am not optimistic and could not find anything in the usual places
that one would look. But what do I know...I went 17 years without creating
print handouts.

What say all of you -- can it be done? It would need to be a native
solution; the client will not accept a solution that requires scripting.
Thanks...

In the alternative, I note the Send to Word feature, which would allow me to
perform my pagination in Word. The format I would want to choose is one
slide per page and lines for note-taking below it. When the slide images
arrive in Word, they are all well short of filling out the width and I would
want to increase their size significantly. Can a global format be set for
this? I don't relish hand-sizing about 450 slides...

You can try this simple solution.

It prints alternating 3-up format to the default printer. If your printer
can handle dual sided printing, this may be all you need.

Rick,

Will this add-on work for 2 up handouts? Also, once I upload this add-on,
how do I use it.
What I'm looking for is to print 2 up handouts and are double-sided. I need
odd page number to be on the right side and even page numbers to be on the
left. Can you help???? Is there a solution to my problem?

thank you,

Rhonda J.
