Choose File, Print from the main menu bar (or in 2007, Office Button, Print, Print).You can set the printer's Page Size from PowerPoint's Print dialog box. Same options, just a different name on the menu. In PowerPoint 97 and previous, choose File, Slide Setup. Note: In PowerPoint 2007, choose Page Setup on the Design tab. There you can choose any of several standard sizes or enter your own custom size. You can set PowerPoint's Slide Size using File, Page Setup. Here's more information on how to make each of these settings. If the Slide Size is larger than the paper, you get as much of the middle of the slide as fits on the paper the rest is cropped at the edges. If the Slide Size is smaller than the paper, you get a small slide centered on the paper. It centers the slide on the paper and that's it. If you turn "Scale to fit" off, PowerPoint sends the slide at its current PowerPoint Slide Size to the printer with no scaling. Note: Actually it scales the slide size to the maximum printable area of the printer, which is usually a bit less than the full page size. For example, if you've set a PowerPoint Slide Size of 1" high by 20" wide and choose Landscape, Letter (8.5 x 11") paper in the printer driver settings, PowerPoint will scale the 20" dimension to the 11" paper size. If it's check-marked, PowerPoint scales your slides to fit as large as possible on the current Printer Page Size without distortion or cropping. When you print, PowerPoint looks at the "Scale to fit" setting. The "Scale to fit paper" setting in the Print dialog box: this determines what size PowerPoint prints the slide on the chosen paper.The Printer Page Size setting in the printer driver: this determines what size paper the slides print on.The PowerPoint Slide Size setting in the File, Page Setup dialog box: this determines how large an imaginary slide is.PowerPoint looks at three different things when it decides how large to print slides:
If you need to do more than just print basic presentations to standard size paper, this little tutorial will help you understand how PowerPoint interacts with printers and page sizes.
