PPT won't stay as "print color"...

[George]

I'm using MS PPT 2003 SP2, and a HP 4050 laserjet (B&W) printer.

I've always for years printed everything as...
File > Print > Color/gray: COLOR
so the prints come out right. Otherwise things like "grayscale" cause
unusual things happen...white fonts turn black, no-line boxes get a grey
lnie around them, and so forth.

The problem is, once I set the PPT file to "COLOR", then save it, it has
fallen back to GRAYSCALE next time I open it. It used to never do this,
I've been printing files for year? I haven't installed any new printers or
anything lately.

Is there any way to tell PPT to permanently KEEP the pring setting as
....File > Print > COLOR

Thanks,
George

Maybe look in Tools > options > print (default print settings)

Did that answer the question / help?

Ordinarily not ... it should work pretty much as you want it to when set to
Grayscale. What you've described is what you get with the Pure Black and White
setting.
