Hello:

I am finding it very difficut to obtain satisfactory handouts from
TeXpower.  Here are some of the things I tried:

1)  I used the "printout" option for powersem along with the "article"
option for seminar, i.e.,
\documentclass[letterpaper, landscape, KOMA, normalheadings,
calcdimensions, printout, 10pt]{powersem}
but this gives me two superimposed slides per page.  It's ugly and
useless.  And I can't seem to separate these two slides with any
parameters.

2) I removed the "article" option to obtain one slide per page.  Then I
a) Used  pdflatex to create a pdf file
b) Used acroread to create a postscript file
c) Used psnup -n 2 -p letter -P letter test.ps > test_psnup.ps

Step  a-c work very nicely for pdf files created by pdfscreen,
pdfslide.  What I get from this procedure with files created with
TeXpower are one big slide oand one small slide per page, but it looks
awful.

I need to have handouts for the presentations I am giving.  I like
TeXpower and want to use it, but can you  help with this please.

Regards,

Angelo
