Can somebody please point me in the right direction to create handouts from
my beamer presentation. I have tried to follow the Beamer Class Tutorial
but I am getting hopelessly lost. I am using Windows XP / LyX 1.4.
To generate simple Handouts (i.e. the slides printed on a sheet),
1. enter "handout" to Document->Settings->Class Options
2. enter to the preamble:
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm]
Then View->PDFlatex
(there's a typo at least in my German version of the beamer user guide).

I use just step 1 to generate handouts (which are one slide to a page).
To get multiple slides on a page, I generate the handout file with one
slide per page, open the file in Acrobat Reader, and print it using a
drive that outputs a PDF file (PDFCreator in my case). The printer
options allow you to do 2, 4 or 6 slides per page, pick paper size, and
pick portrait or landscape orientation. If you take this route, be sure
to select the option to stretch pages to the page margins.
