Thanks Echo for your reply.
Under Add-ins I see:
Active appl Addins:
Google Desktop IOffice Addin
OMnipage 16 com addin
Inactive Appl Addins:
Custom XML data
Invisible onslide content
Offslide Content
Presentation Notes.
Could it be something to do with the Invisible onslide content and Offslide
Content?
However...... I have now just installed a test printer and so far, I haven't
had any Powerpoint problems, so maybe it was cos of my previous printer
driver.............
However, there doesn't seem to be any more up to date drivers for my
printer. I am using Windows Vista and quite an old printer, hp office jet
v45. The HP site says: "A full feature software and driver package for
Windows Vista is not available for your product. However, the Windows Vista
operating system installed on your computer contains a basic driver solution
for your product."
Does this mean that getting a new printer would be the solution? Obviously,
I'd rather not.....
any suggestions, ideas welcome.
