Info-Mac

I am not satisfied with the built in slide printing capabilities of Keynote. In PowerPoint, I can easily set the printer options to print 6 slides on a page, taking up most of the page and leaving just a bit of white space on the paper. But I cannot seem to replicate this effect in Keynote, and fear I may have to install all of Office 2008 just to get print my professor's presentations for class.

Any ideas?

I know it's been forever, Cheryl, but did you ever get an answer to your question?

Because the answer is to print the Keynote presentation, click the down-arrow button next to to the printer name and open the advanced options. There, tell it you want to print a handout, set it to no more than three or four slides per page, and check 'Add Rule Lines' to have the space to make notes during class.

We were in a similar situation recently, and the only thing that saved us was having the very wonderful Apple Training Series book on iWork 08 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321501853).

Strangely, my roommate had exactly the same problem... I didn't understand what he was really talking about since I don't ever print presentations, but it frustrated him so much that he actually went the Office 2008 route.

Well, spread it around! It's one of those "probably documented but who reads the documentation anyway" features, and I know it took us by surprise that there was an answer to the question that didn't involve Powerpoint.
