How do I print PPT with notes in PowerPoint?

1. Use the Print option

2. Click on the File option and select Print from the list.
3. Now, click on the Full Pages Slides option and select Notes Pages from the top.
4. You will immediately see that the keynotes were added at the bottom of the slide and you can now click the Print button to get the PPT printed with notes.
5. If you also want to exclude or print comments, just check or uncheck the Print Comments option from the Notes Pages section. Just so you know, if you choose to print the comments, they will appear on the next print, after the slide and notes page.

Unfortunately, in this mode, there is no way to partition the slide and notes more efficiently. Even if you choose the Landscape mode instead of Portrait, you will still lose a lot from the page.
