CP5 and Print output

Question

I'm packaging some PPTs used for ILT using Captivate.  The package is going to include an .exe version and two handout versions.  One for students and one for instructors.  Has anyone attempted to add or modify the templates for the print output?
I've just tried to use the Handout Template and it has everything scrunched in the center of the page. 
When I use this as a handout for students I'd like the graphic more over on the left and more room for longer lines on the right for student notes.
I'd also like to use the handout format with the slide notes for an Instructor's Handout.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Susan

Answer 1

Susan then asked, "Since I've not written macros do you have a good source for learning how?" and I sent the following reply:
"Try this link as a starting point: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd721892(v=office.12).aspx
However, I must forewarn you, to customize your Captivate documentation your macros will probably need to manipulate images, resizing and/or repositioning them. For that, you will need to learn how to use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to manipulate Microsoft Word's "Shapes" and "InlineShapes" collections. Initially, all the slide images in the Word document that Captivate produces are inline shapes, attached to the Word paragraph in which they occur. You can resize an inline shape, but you can't reposition it directly. You can either adjust the position and alignment of the paragraph to which it is attached, or you can convert it to a regular Shape whose position can be controlled independently of nearby text. The following procedure is one I use to position the first slide by itself on the first page of the Word document:
Sub FloatPicture1()
    Dim iSlideCount As Integer
    Dim oILS As InlineShape
    Dim oFloatingShape As Shape
    iSlideCount = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.Count ' this line just shows you how to find total number of pics in the document
    Set oILS = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1) ' this line sets up a convenient reference to the first picture in the InlineShapes collection
    With oILS ' the "With" to "End With" block lets us do multiple actions on the referenced object
        .Select ' If we hadn't done the "Set oILS" and "With oILS" steps, we would have had to type this line in full as:
                    ' ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).Select
                    ' and the following line as Set oFloatingShape = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).ConvertToShape
        Set oFloatingShape = .ConvertToShape
    End With
    With oFloatingShape ' Now that we have floated the shape, we can set its position
        .RelativeVerticalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionPage           ' these settings control how word will interpret
        .RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeHorizontalPositionPage    ' the .Left and .Top values that follow.
        .Left = CentimetersToPoints(2)
        .Top = CentimetersToPoints(6.5)
    End With
    Set oILS = Nothing ' just some VBA housekeeping here, now that we have finished with these objects
    Set oFloatingShape = Nothing
End Sub ' FloatPicture1"
By the way, note that when we converted InlineShape #1 to a floating shape, that would have reduced the count of InlineShapes by 1, and what was previously InlineShape #2 is the new #1. Your code may sometimes need to take that change of numbering into account.
