RE: Inserting file as printout options

I read on other threads that many people wanted some function that was
available in ON2003 (which I never used) that let them insert one slide on a
page and then insert the next slide on a sub-page...this sounds a little
similar to what you're mentioning now, with one slide per page.

To be honest, I'm not fussed as to whether the presentation is on one page
or not...my hierarchy works like this:

Each subject has a notebook. The tabs in each notebook read 'Lectures',
'Labs', 'Tutes', 'Assignments', etc. Then each tab hasa number of pages,
labelled 'Lecture 1', 'Lecture 2', etc.

With my hierarchy system, having the entire slide appear on one page works
quite well. The issue I have is really just with the size each slides appears
in. I tried selecting them all and then re-sizing to see if I could re-size
them all at the same time, but it didn't seem to work.

Even some trick like that would help me.

Or, another idea, although it still would be time consuming, is to have some
feature where I could "cut" a section of an image (like a pdf file with 6
slides printed on it) and move that section where I liked, so I could have
more white space to annotate with.

I guess the screen-capture could do that, but that means I must screen
capture each slide, instead of just slightly shifting areas of the picture
when I need it.

Maybe there's something that does that already? I'm a very new user, I can't
tell.
