Printing a PowerPoint Presentation in Microsoft Word
If you want to make more customizations than PowerPoint provides, you can also send your presentation to Word, customize it, and print from that application. Choose File, Send To, Microsoft Word to open the Write-Up dialog box, shown in Figure 8.7.
Figure 8.7. The Write-Up dialog box includes several options for what you want to export to Word.
This dialog box includes the following choices on how to display the PowerPoint presentation in Word:
Notes Next to Slides
Blank Lines Next to Slides
Notes Below Slides
Blank Lines Below Slides
Outline Only
You can either Paste or Paste Link the slides into Word. Pasting is the equivalent of embedding. If you embed a PowerPoint presentation into Word and later change that presentation, those changes won't display in the Word document. If you paste link the PowerPoint presentation into Word and later make changes in PowerPoint, these changes display the next time you open the document in Word.

Click OK to send to Word and open in that application. After your presentation is in Word, you can use all its features to customize your notes and handouts.
