Text in Placeholder reformats ONLY when printing - PP 2002

[Just Me]

Text contained in a auto-placeholder at the top of a presentation does
two things ONLY when printing:

1) it resizes to about twice the original size
2) all color information vanishes.

None of the other text on the page does this.

If I remove the auto-placeholder from the page and paste exactly the
same text onto the page in a text box, it prints just fine: size and
color stay intact.

I thought it might be a printer driver, but I have checked and it is
the most up-to-date HP driver and the one supplied by HP and not a
Windows default driver.

Also this ONLY happens to text in the auto-placeholder and no where
else on the page.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Does this happen only on one particular slide or in one presentation (or a
group of presentations based on a common template)?

It happens in one entire presentation based upon a common template.

Tks.

It happens in one entire presentation based upon a common template.

But not in other presentations based on the same template?

I'd try round-tripping it ...

Thanks. But I tried that. DIdn't work. :-(

I replaced the bunch of them in a duplicate copy so that I could move
along, but it would be good to know what went wrong.
