PowerPoint is a very useful Office tool for various tasks. If the problem for you is to place the margins in PowerPoint you should no longer worry, because today we explain how to put and configure the margins in PowerPoint easily.
How to easily set and set margins to print in PowerPoint
When it comes to 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 captured in the printing process exactly as in the PowerPoint presentation. For this, you must directly configure the slides in such a way that when printing they look the right way.
When you have finished configuring, you must click on “Accept” so that the configurations made are saved and the process completes completely.
Set slides to be 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 lies mainly in printers, whose design prevents them from printing the content that comes in the margins.
Unfortunately, this is not something that can be completely solved in PowerPoint, but you can at least try a partial solution to this problem. The process is a bit time-consuming and does not always work, but it is a secondary route through which to try to channel the problem.
First, you must access the presentation or slide that you want to print without white borders. Now, you must go to the Design section and then to Slide size> Custom slide size. The second thing you should 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 should go to the View section and then to Note Master and now look at the Placeholders section. Once you locate this section, you should dedicate yourself to manually disabling all the placeholders that you do not want to print. Some examples of this are Headers, Footer, Page Number, and Date.
Now you must carefully drag the slide and thus reduce its size even a little compared to the full pageview. 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 how the print will look, you can go to File and then Print> Print. If you notice that the slide is not centered you should go to View> Note Master and from there try to center the slide and then try to print again.
As 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 may 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 to do is select the text box or auto shape 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 margins at the top, bottom left and right. When you finish configuring the margins, click OK to finish the process and save the changes made.
And so, in these ways is how you can configure the various types of margins in Microsoft PowerPoint yourself. Thus, you can 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.
