Printing slides - changing the borders

I have a slide which is full colour on screen, however when I print it it has about a 3cm border on the left and right, and only 1cm border on top and bottom.

How do I

a) get rid of the borders completely?
b) if this is not possible, change the borders so they are even all around?

Thank you,

Laura

RE: Printing slides - changing the borders

Hi Laura

Thank you for your question.

One option to try when when printing off your slides by going to the Office Button then choosing Print > Print Preview then from the Print Preview ribbon click on Options. You will see an options to scale to fit paper.

Some but not all printers are able to print to the edge of the paper.

I hope this helps. Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Powerpoint tip:

Make your PowerPoint presentation smaller

Choose "File", "Properties" and turn off "Save preview picture".

This also speeds up saving the file, as Powerpoint does not have to create the little image preview.
