I want to edit the macro such that the printouts are not butted to the left but i cant figure out which. Any help?

How do I keep the printout landscape?
I use this for PowerPoint printouts.
Thanks.

I managed to get my OneNote printouts in Landscape through system dialog > preferences. However, they end up upside down. Could a 180 turn be added?
If you're asking why I don't just print it sideways and rotate it, it's because then I'd have to move all the slides together in order to remove the space created after rotating from portrait.
Otherwise, I appreciate the macro for making printouts viable for landscape pdfs and recommend the Select Images as an obvious combination.

Flashes a dialog box that says Running macro "perfect printouts" and closes it immediately. Nothing happens.

Mark: This macro does not print out anything. It rearranges an existing document printout on a OneNote page.

When I try to print ne of my pages, it flashes a dialog box I cannot read but does not print anything out. How do I debug what is going on?

Hey Anmol. You can just delete two lines. The lines that say something like:
<Comment text=\"Modify property(x) --> set variable(0)\" />
<Expression>$ImageObject_3.x = 0</Expression>
I am not sure because I deleted the lines immediately after installing the macro but that should be what they say. It is also the first in a long list of code that looks similar to what I posted.

Is there any way to remove the left align of the powerpoints? I would like to keep my margins the way they are. If you can tell me what lines to delete from the macro, that would be greatly appreciated!

Adam.med - I just saw your request. In case it still helps, here is the code you need between the tilde lines (I am having trouble uploading the macro for some reason):
~~~~~~~~~~~~

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Macro name="Number Printout Pages" category="Printout" description="Inserts the page number at the top and to the right of each printout page in the current font." version="10">
  <ModifyVar name="pageIndexOn" op="set" value="0" />
  <ModifyVar name="rightX" op="set" value="0">
    <LeftIndex value="0" />
  </ModifyVar>
  <ModifyVar name="topY" op="set" value="0">
    <LeftIndex value="0" />
  </ModifyVar>
  <For each="Image">
    <That hasProp="isPrintOut" op="eq" value="true" />
    <ModifyProp name="background" op="set" value="true" />
    <ModifyVar name="rightX" op="set" prop="x">
      <LeftIndex var="pageIndexOn" />
    </ModifyVar>
    <ModifyVar name="rightX" op="add" prop="width">

  </For>
  <ModifyVar name="highestIndex" op="set" var="pageIndexOn" />
  <ModifyVar name="pageIndexOn" op="set" value="0" />
  <For each="Page">
    <WhileVar name="pageIndexOn" op="lt" var="highestIndex">
      <Insert type="Outline">
        <ModifyProp name="x" op="set" var="rightX">
          <RightIndex var="pageIndexOn" />
        </ModifyProp>
        <ModifyProp name="y" op="set" var="topY">
          <RightIndex var="pageIndexOn" />
        </ModifyProp>
        <ModifyVar name="pageIndexOn" op="add" value="1" />
        <ModifyProp name="text" op="set" var="pageIndexOn" />
      </Insert>
    </WhileVar>
  </For>
</Macro>

Just create a "new macro" and "import" this code via copy and paste. If you don't want the pages to be stuck in place after running the macro, then delete the line "<ModifyProp name="background" op="set" value="true" />". Keep in mind, the numbers will be their own entity and won't move with the pages if you move them after running the macro.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to just insert slide numbers for the printout, without adjusting their position on the page? I don't know how to read the code in which the macros are written, but if someone would be kind enough to post the relevant code for me to create a macro that does this, that would be greatly appreciated

Teal: did you install the macro by double clicking on it?

I just downloaded this but it is not showing up with my macros.

Ry4n - I thought so too. I haven't been impressed with the lack of support for PDF insertion. I hope this helps.

you would think Microsoft would make it easy on their customers and already provide the "perfect printout."
