| 00:00 | Welcome to this Spoken Tutorial of LibreOffice Impress - Printing a Presentation. |
| 00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn about the various options for printing - |
| 00:12 | Slides, Handouts, Notes and Outline. |
| 00:17 | Here we are using: GNU/Linux as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
| 00:26 | There are times when you would need to print hard copies of your presentation. |
| 00:30 | For example, you may want to give copies of your presentation to your audience for later reference. |
| 00:36 | So first, let us open our presentation 'Sample Impress'. |
| 00:41 | To take prints of your slides, click on File and Print. Alternately, we can press Ctrl and 'P' keys together. |
| 00:50 | To know about the settings under General and Options tabs, |
| 00:54 | please see the tutorial on Viewing and printing Documents in the LibreOffice Writer series. |
| 01:01 | In the General tab, under Print, in the Document field, we see various options which are unique to Impress. |
| 01:09 | These options allow us to take prints of our slides in the desired format - |
| 01:14 | Slides, Handouts, Notes and Outline. We will choose the Slides option. |
| 01:21 | Now, let's click on the LibreOffice Impress tab. |
| 01:26 | Here you can choose the parts of the slide that you want to print, the print colours and the size. |
| 01:33 | Under Contents, let’s select Slide name, Date and time and Hidden pages. |
| 01:40 | As the text describes, these will print the name of the slide, the date and time and hidden pages, if any. |
| 01:48 | Then under Color, let’s select Grayscale. |
| 01:52 | As the text describes, the other options will print the slide in its original colour or in black-and-white. |
| 01:59 | And under Size, let’s select "Fit to printable page". You can explore the other size options in the LibreOffice Impress tab on your own. |
| 02:09 | Depending on the purpose for which you are taking the prints, various options are available in the Page Layout tab. |
| 02:17 | Let’s say, you want to have a number of slides in the same page of the printout. |
| 02:22 | So, select Pages per sheet. By default, it prints 1 slide per page. |
| 02:28 | Here is a small preview of the page. |
| 02:32 | Click on the drop-down arrow and choose the number of pages that you want to print per page. |
| 02:38 | If we choose 2 then in the preview, we can see 2 pages. If we choose 6 then in the preview, we can see 6 pages. |
| 02:47 | Checking 'Draw a border around each page' option, creates a black border around each page while printing. |
| 02:55 | This makes the page look more attractive. |
| 02:59 | The next option Brochure allows us to print the slides as brochures, for easy binding. |
| 03:06 | However, in this case, we will not choose this option. You can explore this option on your own, later. |
| 03:13 | Ensure that all the check-boxes in the Options tab are unchecked. |
| 03:18 | These check-boxes are for special purposes which we will not discuss in this tutorial. |
| 03:25 | Now, click on the Print button. |
| 03:28 | If the printer is configured correctly, the printer should start printing now. |
| 03:35 | Next, let's learn about the Handout option. Click on File and Print. |
| 03:41 | And in the General tab, under Print, in the Document field, choose Handouts. |
| 03:47 | By default, there are 4 Slides per page and the default Order is 'Left to right, then down'. Leave these unchanged for this presentation. |
| 03:57 | In the LibreOffice Impress tab, you will find that the Size options are disabled. |
| 04:04 | This is because the size of the print is determined by the number of slides in the sheet and size of the sheet. |
| 04:11 | Now click on the Print button. |
| 04:14 | If the printer is configured correctly, the printer should start printing now. |
| 04:20 | Let's go to the first slide and click on the Notes tab. |
| 04:24 | Here we will type in a note - “This is a sample note”. |
| 04:29 | To print your notes which you typed for your slides, click on File and Print. |
| 04:35 | In the General tab, under Print, in the Document field, choose the Notes option. |
| 04:41 | Look at the preview page on the left. It shows the note you typed at the bottom of the slide. |
| 04:48 | Now click on the LibreOffice Impress tab. |
| 04:51 | Notice that the Size options are not available when we print Notes. |
| 04:57 | Now, click on the Print button. If the printer is configured correctly, the printer should start printing now. |
| 05:04 | Lastly, to print the outline of the slides for quick reference during a presentation, click on File and Print. |
| 05:13 | In the General tab, under Print, in the Document field, choose the Outline option. |
| 05:18 | Look at the preview page on the left. It shows the outline or the sequence of your slides with the slide headings and sub-points. |
| 05:27 | Now, click on the LibreOffice Impress tab. |
| 05:31 | Notice once again that Size options are not available when we print Outline. |
| 05:37 | Now, click on the Print button. If the printer is configured correctly, the printer should start printing now. |
| 05:46 | With this, we conclude this tutorial where we learnt about printing - |
| 05:51 | Slides, Handouts, Notes and, Outline. |
