Slide Tools

The Macabacus Pagination tool ensures section flysheets print on the front and designated facing slides print on the back of pages for duplex printing. It also adjusts slide numbering as needed. This is useful for creating printed presentations with specific facing slides.

Access the tool via Macabacus > Slides > Finalize Pagination. You can choose:

  • Duplex Appearance: Inserts blank slides to ensure section flysheets print on the front and facing slides on the back.
  • Simplex Appearance: Inserts blank slides for a one-sided look except where facing slides print on the back.

Designate facing slides using the dialog or by clicking Macabacus > Slides > Mark as Facing Slide. Facing slides are marked in red, and section flysheets in blue.

You can also set slide numbering preferences to start at 1 or ensure sequential numbering. After finalizing, Macabacus saves a print-ready copy in the same folder as the active presentation. This tool corrects manually adjusted slide numbers, ensuring they update automatically when slides are added or removed
