| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Printing a Presentation. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we learn about the various options for Printing: |
| 00:12 | Slides, Handouts, Notes and Outline |
| 00:20 | This tutorial is recorded using
Ubuntu Linux OS version 18.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 6.3.5 |
| 00:34 | Printing option is useful:
When we need to print hard copies of our presentation |
| 00:42 | When we may want to give copies of our presentation to our audience for later reference |
| 00:50 | Let's open the presentation Sample hyphen Impress dot odp which we saved earlier. |
| 00:59 | This file has been provided to you in the Code files link on this tutorial page
Please download and extract the file |
| 01:10 | Make a copy and then use it for practicing |
| 01:15 | Let’s learn how to take a printout of our slides in various formats. |
| 01:22 | There is a Print icon in the Standard toolbar. |
| 01:26 | Notice the tooltip on the icon displays a shortcut key ‘Control plus P’ to print the slides.
Click on the Print icon. |
| 01:38 | The Print dialog box opens. |
| 01:42 | Close the Print dialog box for now. |
| 01:46 | I will demonstrate another method to open the Print dialog box. |
| 01:52 | Click on the File menu in the menu bar and then click on the Print option. |
| 01:59 | In the Print dialog box, we see two tabs namely General and LibreOffice Impress. |
| 02:08 | Let's look at the options under the LibreOffice Impress tab first. |
| 02:14 | Let’s start from the Document section. |
| 02:18 | By default, in the drop-down of the Type field, Slides option is selected. |
| 02:25 | To see other options, click on the drop-down of the Type field. |
| 02:31 | The options in the Type field are unique to Impress. |
| 02:36 | These options allow us to take prints of slides in other formats such as: |
| 02:43 | Handouts, Notes and Outline |
| 02:51 | Look at the Print preview of the slides on the left-hand side. |
| 02:57 | There are previous and next page icons here. |
| 03:02 | Scroll through all the slides in the Print preview window to see how they will be printed. |
| 03:11 | Under the Contents section, by default, the Hidden pages checkbox is selected. |
| 03:18 | We will select Slide name andDate and time checkboxes also. |
| 03:24 | These will print the name of the slide, with date and time, and also the hidden pages, if any. |
| 03:32 | Under the Color section, let's select the Grayscale radio button by clicking on it. |
| 03:39 | Under the Size section, we’ll select ‘Fit to printable page’ radio button. |
| 03:46 | You can explore the other color and size options in the LibreOffice Impress tab on your own later. |
| 03:54 | Next, let’s look at the options under the General tab. |
| 03:59 | Under Printer we will select our configured Printer’s name |
| 04:04 | Go to the Page Layout section. |
| 04:07 | Various options are available in the Page Layout section. |
| 04:12 | In the Orientation field, we’ll choose the option Landscape. |
| 04:18 | In the Pages per sheet field, we have the number 1, by default.
This means it prints one slide on the page. |
| 04:29 | On the right-hand side of the Order field, we see a rectangle box displaying number 1, as well. |
| 04:37 | This is a preview of the slide number as per the option in the Pages per sheet field. |
| 04:44 | Let’s say we want to have more than one slide on the same page of the printout. |
| 04:51 | So, in the Pages per sheet field, we can choose the number of slides that we want to print per page. |
| 05:00 | We will choose ‘2’ in this field. |
| 05:04 | Now, we see a preview of slide numbers ‘1’ and ‘2’ in the rectangle box. |
| 05:12 | We can also see a preview of two slides per page in the Print preview on the left. |
| 05:20 | Now let’s choose ‘4’ in the Pages per sheet field and see what happens. |
| 05:28 | Immediately, we see a preview of slide numbers ‘1 to 4’ in the rectangle box. |
| 05:36 | Likewise, we see a preview of four slides per page in the Print preview on the left. |
| 05:44 | Next, click on the checkbox of ‘Draw a border around each page’. |
| 05:50 | This creates a black border around each slide while printing.
This makes the page look more attractive. |
| 05:59 | Finally, to print the slides, click on the OK button at the bottom right corner. |
| 06:06 | If your printer is configured correctly, the presentation should start printing now. |
| 06:12 | Next, let's learn how to take the print of slides in Handouts format. |
| 06:18 | Click on the Print icon in the Standard Toolbar. |
| 06:23 | In the Print dialog box, click on the LibreOffice Impress tab. |
| 06:28 | Click on the drop-down of the Type field and choose the Handouts option. |
| 06:34 | In the Slides per page field, According to Layout option is selected, by default. |
| 06:41 | This displays 5 slides in the Print preview on the left. |
| 06:47 | But from Slides per page, we can select any number of slides we want to print as Handouts.
I will change this to 3. |
| 06:58 | Leave all other options unchanged for this presentation. |
| 07:03 | Finally, to print the slides, click on the OK button at the bottom right corner. |
| 07:10 | If the printer is configured correctly, the presentation should start printing now. |
| 07:16 | Next, let's go to the first slide and click on the Notes tab. |
| 07:22 | Click on the Click to add Notes and type “This is a sample note”. |
| 07:28 | Then click anywhere outside the textbox. |
| 07:32 | Let’s print our notes, which we typed for our slides. |
| 07:37 | As before, click on the Print icon in the Standard Toolbar. |
| 07:43 | Notice that LibreOffice Impress tab is now directly open in the Print dialog box. |
| 07:50 | In the drop-down of the Type field, choose the Notes option. |
| 07:55 | Now, look at the Print preview of the slide on the left. |
| 08:00 | It shows the note which we had typed earlier, at the bottom of the Print preview. |
| 08:06 | Scroll through all the slides in the Print preview window to see all the other notes that we typed. |
| 08:14 | Click on the OK button at the bottom right corner. |
| 08:18 | If the printer is configured correctly, the printer should start printing now. |
| 08:24 | Lastly, let’s print the Outline of the slides for quick reference during a presentation. |
| 08:31 | Once again, click to the Print icon in the Standard Toolbar. |
| 08:36 | In the drop-down of the Type field, choose the Outline option. |
| 08:41 | Now, look at the Print preview of the slide on the left. |
| 08:46 | It shows the outline or the sequence of our slides with the slide headings and sub-points. |
| 08:54 | Click on the OK button at the bottom right corner. |
| 08:58 | If the printer is configured correctly, the printer should start printing now. |
| 09:04 | Let us save all the changes we made in our presentation by clicking on the Save icon.
And then close the file. |
