Hi, Our teacher gave us the powerpoints that he used in class. When opening them in powerpoint it asks for his password. Then I click "Read-only" and I can view them fine. But I want to print these out (handouts), 6 slides a page. Because it is easier to read. But when I go to the print menu and click ok. It doesn't do anything. In powerpoint viewer, I can print them out fine, but only 1 per page. But I don't want that as I will end up with a huge pile of paper. Any help on how I could print these out 6 per page? Or how to hack the file? Thanks L
Click on the left panel and press Ctrl + A then copy. Open a new PP document and paste, you should be able to use PP normally.
Dosn't work mate. I can select them, copy them. But I can't paste them .. it doesn't even show up on the clipboard.
Can you save the file in a different format (HTML, anything)? That might remove the password protection, but it might also mess with the formatting. Can you ask your teacher for his password and tell him that his PP is not precious enough to password protect if he's then just going to give the file out to everybody?
I can't "save as". I can't print to pdf either. Don't think he is going to give out the password. :s L
Well yeah, it will take ages. Its a view hundres slides. Got better things to do But thanks for the help though.
Try this... That might give you a fighting chance.. i know its a demo but i know you can purchase it. OR even find a work around.
A friend of mine was able to make pdf-files with handouts! Got those to print out, it is printing atm.. Few hundred pages. Thanks for the help anyway! Haven't tried openoffice, was a good idea. But no need to anymore! L
