WPS Office PowerPoint allows you to create professional presentations with features like animations, transitions, themes, and more. One useful feature is the ability to create a double-page spread for handouts. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create a double-page spread in WPS Office PowerPoint.
What is a Double-Page Spread?
A double-page spread refers to content that spans across two facing pages. For presentations, this is useful when printing slides as handouts. The double-page spread allows you to print two slides per page, making the handouts more compact and convenient for your audience.
Why Use a Double-Page Spread?
Here are some of the benefits of using a double-page spread in your PowerPoint handouts:
- Saves paper by fitting more slides per page
- Prevents content from being split onto separate pages
- Creates a booklet-style handout that’s easy to follow
