Line from text box remains when printing

[Gina]

I "drew" a box to cover an unwanted portion of a picture on my slide. I
colored the box white and removed the line. The line is not visible on the
slide or slide show. But it IS visibile in print preview and when I print.
How can I get rid of the line?

Try changing the outline color to White (or to match the fill color of
the box).

I tried that. It didn't work.

Change printer settings from Black&White to Grayscale.

It is. Grayscale doesn't work either.

I almost said that some printer drivers make it impossible when I
first posted. In my experience HPs are notorious for this ill-
mannered behavior.

Three more things to try:

1). Even though it is a B&W printer, try setting the printer to Color
(if the driver offers that). Many black and white printers will
convert the colors to shades of gray - but without substituting black
for the background color in the shape outline. This will mean it will
try to match the color and since it is specified as white it should
remove the line.

2). If that doesn't work, try setting the line width to zero.

3). If that doesn't work set the color to the lightest non-white you
can, say a custom color of 254, 254, 254.

Finally, if all else fails refer to the manufacturer's website for
possible solutions or a newer print driver.

With Microsoft programs, you always have to find creative ways around their
shortcomings. This is how I worked around the problem:
1. I printed a hardcopy of the picture
2. Placed a piece of paper over the area I didn't want showing
3. Copied the picture
4. Scanned my new hardcopy picture
5. Emailed it to myself
6. Copied/pasted the new electronic picture into the powerpoint.

Is the "line" a transparent area in your picture? Some PostScript-based
printer drivers have problems with transparency. In that case either remove
transparency from picture or try a non-PS printer driver.
