PowerPoint has the functionality for formatting the handouts for your presentation, however it isn’t very easy for a majority of users. Because of this, PowerPoint also gives you the option of placing handouts into a Word document.

1. While in your PowerPoint presentation, click the Office Button.

2. Click Publish.

3. Select Create Handouts in Microsoft Office Word.

4. Choose the page layout you wish to use and select the corresponding radio button.

5. Click OK.

Now you can use Word’s formatting tools to make your handouts look the way you want them to.
