2. In the Print dialog box, under Orientation, click Landscape.
3. Set any other print layout options you want, such as which slides to print or the number of copies.
4. In the Printer box, choose a printer.

Steps to Print in Landscape

Printing your PowerPoint slides horizontally is a standard task. The key is locating the orientation setting within the print options.

• Accessing Print: Typically, you go to the File menu and select Print, or use the shortcut Ctrl + P (Windows) or Cmd + P (Mac). As described in the reference, you might also find a quick print button or icon available directly from the presentation view, often found by hovering the pointer near the bottom of the screen.
• Finding Orientation: Within the Print dialog or Print settings window, look for a section labeled "Orientation." This section usually offers choices between "Portrait" and "Landscape."
• Selecting Landscape: Click on the option for Landscape. You should see a preview update to show how the slides will look when printed horizontally.
• Finalizing Print Settings: Before printing, confirm other settings like the printer, the number of copies, the specific slides or range you want to print, and any handout or notes page options.
• Printing: Click the Print button.

By following these steps, you ensure your slides are printed in the desired landscape format.
