2. Right click on the title of the PowerPoint presentation or Word document.
3. Select SAVE and save the presentation or document to the desktop.
4. Minimize Blackboard.
5. Open the presentation or documentfrom the desktop.
6. Select FILE, and then PRINT from the top menu.
7. A print window will open.
8. For presentations, about two thirds of the way down the print window, find Print what:
   1. Open the drop-down list directly below that and select Handouts.
   2. To the right of that, select the number of slides per page.
9. Then click OK. This will send your project to the printer.
