Adding lines to notes page
Hi All
I am currently using Powerpoint 2003 and simply want to print out the notes pages with the note area to have lines to write on, rather than just a blank area. Is there a selection to do this or do I have to "draw" the lines myself in the master notes page. Any assistance would be appreciated. Regards Michael M |

Adding lines to notes page
Try double clicking on the edge of the textbox in the notes page, then set
the line color to black. -- Shawn Toh (tohlz) Microsoft MVP PowerPoint (Amazing PowerPoint animations, artworks, games here) http://pptheaven.mvps.org PowerPoint Heaven - The Power to Animate "Michael M" wrote: Hi All I am currently using Powerpoint 2003 and simply want to print out the notes pages with the note area to have lines to write on, rather than just a blank area.

Adding lines to notes page
Thanks Shawn
Maybe I wasn't exactly clear. I don't want a box around the note area. What I need is actual lines in the note area for the users to write on. I thought there might have been an option for this, but I think i may have to "draw" my own lines in the master sheet.

Hi Michael,
You will have to draw you own lines manually. Alternately, you can choose to print it as a handout. You might also want to take a look at HandOut Wizard add-in: http://skp.mvps.org/how/index.html -- Shawn Toh (tohlz) Microsoft MVP PowerPoint (Amazing PowerPoint animations, artworks, games here) http://pptheaven.mvps.org PowerPoint Heaven - The Power to Animate "Michael M" wrote: Thanks Shawn Maybe I wasn't exactly clear.

Thanks Shawn
I kinda thought that, and I guess the amount of time I wasted trying to solve the issue, I would have drawn them anyway. But I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing a manual job when I didn't need to. I will check out the Addin though Thanks again for your responses. Regards Michael M "tohlz" wrote: Hi Michael, You will have to draw you own lines manually.

Try File | Send to | Word. You can get lines next to your thumbnails using
it. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "Michael M" wrote in message ...

You're welcome.
I recommend you choose Paste Link when you use Send to Word. Then in Word, Ctrl+A to select all and then Edit | Links and break all the links. Long story short, this will help keep the file size down a bit; Send to Word generates pretty big files. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "Michael M" wrote in message ...

Thank you for the extra tip.
Fortunately, it will be a print run only and then the Word file will be deleted. But I might go through the steps and see what sort of file size difference there is. It might mean we can save the file for future use. Many thanks Regards Michael M. "Echo S" wrote: You're welcome. I recommend you choose Paste Link when you use Send to Word.
