PowerPoint is a very useful Office tool for various tasks. If the problem for you is placing the margins in PowerPoint, you should no longer worry, because today we explain how to easily put and configure the margins in PowerPoint.
How to put and set the margins to print in PowerPoint easily
When printing a work done in PowerPoint, you will surely want the work once printed to be as professional as possible.
In addition, you will surely want the work to be reflected in the printing process exactly as in the PowerPoint presentation. For this, you must directly configure the slides in such a way that when printed they look the right way.
To make this configuration, you must first adjust the size of the elements of the slide, such as images, text and others. Then you must follow the path File> Page Setup and then, in Slide size, you must select one of the options that are shown to you. You must carefully take care of selecting the width and height for the slide that you are going to print later.
When you have finished configuring, you must click on “OK” so that the settings made are saved and the process is completely finished.
Set slides to output without white borders when printing
The interest in this type of configuration arises when trying to print a PowerPoint slide, it comes out with white borders. This problem mainly lies with printers, whose design prevents them from printing the content that comes in the margins.
Unfortunately, this is not something that can be totally fixed in PowerPoint, but you can at least try a partial solution to this problem. The process is a bit slow and it doesn’t always work, but it is a secondary way to try to channel the problem.
First, you must access the presentation or slide that you want to print without white borders. Now, you need to go to the Layout section and then Slide Size>Custom Slide Size. The second thing you need to do is select an orientation for your slide according to your needs, in landscape or portrait orientation. You can even change the orientation of a single slide.
Next, you must go to the View section and then to Notes Master and now look at the Placeholders section. Once you locate this section, you should work on manually turning off any placeholders you don’t want to print. Some examples of this are headers, footers, page number, and Date.
Now you must carefully drag the slide so that its size decreases even a little compared to the full page view. Later you must make sure what the final margin will be in the printer and then you must place the margins on both sides of the note pattern in such a way that its size is that.
Finally, to check what the printout will look like, you can go to File and then Print>Print. If you notice that the slide is not centered you should go to View>Notes Master and from there try to center the slide and then try to print again.
Since this is a trial and error process, you will probably have to try again and again until you get results that meet your needs. Another option that can help you is to save the slide as an image and print it as such.
How to Put and Set Margins in Text Boxes and AutoShapes in PowerPoint
The first thing you need to do is select the text box or AutoShape within your PowerPoint slide. Now you must right-click on the selected element to open the AutoShape “Format” dialog box or Text Format Box as appropriate.
Now you have to go to the “Inner margin” section and then to the “Text box” section and from there you can change the top, bottom, left and right margins. When you finish setting the margins, click OK to finish the process and save the changes made.
And so, these ways are how you can configure the various types of margins in Microsoft PowerPoint yourself. Thus, you will be able to work more comfortably, print slides with better results and work in PowerPoint in a much more professional way. We also recommend adding more templates to PowerPoint to increase the variety of designs.
