Hello, I would like to know how I can print out a complete presentation by using the handout option in openoffice's presentation program, whenever I press the "handout" tab I only see 4 slides of the presentation, what can I do to print out all of them just like in powerpoint???

I hope you can help me,

Using OpenOffice's Help search it says the following:

Code:

Printing slides as a handout
You can print several slides on a single page of paper.
1.Choose View - Handout Page.
2.Click Print File Directly in the Standard Bar.

Changing the layout for handouts
1.On the Handout page, choose Format - Modify layout.
2.Select one of the layouts from the Modify Slide dialog.
Depending on the layout, you can print up to six slides per paper page.

Enjoy!

ok I saw how to do that now my question is what do I do to print the rest of the presentation in the same 6 slide format? For example the presentation that I am trying to print has a total of 23 slides.

I figured it out, thank you very much for your help, I managed to print my whole presentation with 6 slides on a page.

this is what I did:

I followed the steps that you told me
then I did the following:

1) I went to file
2) I clicked on print
2) once the print window came out I pressed on options
3) in the options menu I made sure that only handout was selected under the content heading
4)I clicked print and my presentation came out in the handout form.
