When I print N slides per page, there's way too much white space, so
the slides are too small even though there's plenty of room. Is there
a native Windows/Powerpoint way to control this wasted margin space
(and reduce it to zero)?

Thanks.

Thank you Shawn. Unfortunately, it's not an option.

Paul,

The handout sizes are 'hard coded' into powerpoint - and therefore do not
allow any tweaking with the sizes.

I'd use tohlz suggestion of the powerpoint handout wizard addin
