The way to access and customize these areas is the same as for the
Notes and uses the same dialog box. Refer to “Setting automatic layout
options” on page 195 for information.
Moving thumbnails and adding graphics
You can move (but not resize) the slide thumbnails and add lines,
boxes, and other graphic elements to the handouts. Figure 153 shows
an example. See Chapter 5 (Creating Graphic Objects) for instructions
on using the graphics tools.
Tip
After designing a handout, you may wish to save it in a template
so you can reuse it whenever you want. See “Working with
templates” in Chapter 2 (Using slide masters, styles, and
templates) for instructions on saving templates and starting a
new presentation from a template.
Caution
If you click on one of the other handout layouts and then return
to the one you have reformatted, the slide thumbnails return to
their original positions, although any lines or other graphics you
have added remain where you put them. You will need to move
the thumbnails back to where you want them.
