4) Choose the preferred layout. The main work area changes to

reflect the choice.

Formatting handouts

You can format several aspects of the handout, from the page style to

the elements that appear on the page. You cannot format individual

handout pages; any changes apply to all handouts in the presentation

file.

Formatting the page

To format the handout pages:

1) Be sure you are in Handouts view. (Click the Handouts tab in the

work area or select View > Handout Page from the menu bar.)

2) Select Format > Page from the main menu, or right-click on the

handout and select Slide > Page Setup from the pop-up menu.

3) On the Page Setup dialog box (Figure 147 on page 195), set the

paper size, orientation (portrait or landscape), margins, and other

parameters. Click OK.

Setting automatic layout options

In Handout view, as in Notes view, Impress creates four areas where

you can put information about the presentation:

• Header area

• Date and Time area

• Footer area

• Slide number area

Note

The information in these areas does not show in Handout view,

but it does appear correctly on the printed handouts.
