In PowerPoint for Windows, select File > Print, open the Full Page Slides menu, and choose Notes Pages to print each slide with its speaker notes underneath.^1^

  1. Open the PPTX file in the PowerPoint desktop app.
  2. Select File > Print.
  3. Under Printer, select your printer.
  4. Under Settings, select the menu currently showing Full Page Slides.
  5. Under Print Layout, select Notes Pages.
  6. Check the print preview, choose the required slide range or number of copies, and select Print.

PowerPoint prints one slide and its accompanying notes per page.

  1. Select View > Notes Page.
  2. For each notes page, select the slide thumbnail and press Delete. This removes only the thumbnail from the notes page; it does not delete the slide.
  3. Select File > Print.
  4. Choose Notes Pages under Print Layout, then select Print.^1^

Alternatively, for more control over formatting, select File > Export > Create Handouts > Create Handouts, choose Notes next to slides or Notes below slides, select Paste, and then print the resulting document from Word.
