What action should you take to print notes with slides?

To print notes alongside the slides in PowerPoint, the appropriate action is to select "File," then navigate to "Print," and choose the option for "Notes Pages." This option specifically allows you to generate printed output of both the slide content and the associated notes that accompany each slide.

Choosing "Notes Pages" will present each slide on the top half of the page and the corresponding notes underneath, making it easy to review both during a presentation or while preparing for it. This format is particularly beneficial for presenters who want to have a comprehensive view of their points while presenting.

The other options do not facilitate printing notes with slides effectively. Presentation Mode is designed for displaying slides during a presentation, not for printing. The export feature is used to save presentations in different formats, not for printing directly. Printing from the slide view only prints the slides themselves, excluding any notes. Thus, selecting "File," then "Print," and choosing "Notes Pages" is the correct method to achieve the desired outcome of printing notes along with the slides.
