Impress: how to set the "default" number of slides per page when printing handouts?

Hi guys,

does anyone know how to set the "default" number of slides per page when
printing handouts?

LO unfortunately contains a bug (which goes way back and remains
unfixed) that causes it to forget what you were printing (notes,
handouts, ...) between print jobs. And with the latest version it even
got worse. Now, if you want to print handouts, you not only have to
select "handouts" every time, but now you also have to pick the number
of slides per page again, unless you want the "default", which seems to
be 6 (for whatever reason).

Does anyone know a workaround for this nuisance?

Thanks and all the best,

Stephan

All,

The LibreOffice website looks different and some information is missing that was there last week. In particular I'm looking for the 4.2.1 release notes which used to be here:

I just noticed that the 4.1.5 release notes are gone too!

What's going on here?

As you rightly noticed, the website "looks" different. We have a new
website. What I'm a bit surprized is that when it comes to the release
notes I had added them myself to the staging site. I'll find them back.

Best,

Charles.

Hi Stephan,

I don't know about the latest version, but in LO 3.6.7 it should
work this way: Open the handout tab and in the task pane select
"layout", right-click on the layout with your desired number of
slides and apply to all selected (which must have been done defore).

Hi Karl,

thanks for your reply, I meanwhile tried it and unfortunately it doesn't
seem to work... :frowning:

(I would have been surprised if it did, since switching to the handouts
tab properly shows the 2-slide layout, as it's always been.)

All the best,

Stephan
