Jan's Working with Presentations: Pre-Print Checklist

You may need to make temporary changes to the presentation so that it will print nicely. Be careful not to save your changes!

A better idea: Save a copy of the presentation under a new name and make your changes to the copy.

Your transitions and animations do not affect the printouts, unless you are animating images that wind up on top of each other or off screen.
