While printing a presentation in MS PowerPoint, what is the maximum number of slides that can be placed on one handout page?
- A.4
- B.6
- C.9
- D.12
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, 9. The Print pane of PowerPoint offers handout layouts of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 slides per page, so nine is the largest number, and the 3-slide layout is the one that leaves ruled lines beside the slides for the audience to write on. Option A, 4, and option B, 6, are genuine handout layouts but not the maximum, which is exactly how the paper setter makes them tempting. Option D, 12, is not offered at all; at that size the text of a slide would be unreadable on paper. Along with the handouts, the Print pane can also print Full Page Slides, the Notes Pages and the Outline, and the setting appears once the Handouts group is opened.
