Change margins?

I'm trying to print slides from a presentation to be bound. I'd like
to increase the top margin so it doesn't get cut off with the binding.
Is there any way to do this? It looks like it's not possible, but I'm
hoping that's not the case. Thanks!

I recommend going to the Page Setup and changing the slide dimensions from
On-Screen Show (10 x 7.5) to a proportional 9.5 x 7.125 and the whole margin
will be decreased without losing any data. Unfortunately, you are having to
change all 4 margins, since as best as I've run into, there is no way to keep
PPT from centering the printouts on a page.

You might consider saving your presentation as individual images, then
import them into Word where you can control the margins for a lot easier
printing.

This is the opposite problem, but it might give you some ideas.

Margins are wrong, printout is off-center, can't print to edge, printing is
cut off

Yeah, unfortunately there are 70 slides with charts and images, etc.,
so it's a bit much to import it into word.

Unfortunately, I don't have another suggestion other than the slides where
you believe they are going to be clipped by the binding you scale all your
information on that slide so that it doesn't get cut off. FWIW, I just as an
exercise, took a 120 slide presentation, and exported all the slides as
images, then imported them into word in les than 35 minutes.
