OBJECTS WITH NO BORDER HAVE BORDER WHEN PRINTED

[Miner Jeff]

I'm trying to use borderless, white objects to mask out parts of other
objects. I tried using a rectangle with a white fill and no border.
When I print, the rectangle has black borders. I tried using white
borders on the rectangle...same result.

Is there a way to eliminate the borders from the print?

Is there a different approach that works?

I'm using POWERPOINT 2003, SP2.

Thanks,

Jeffrey Bledsoe

Go to View | Black and White, then right-click the box and choose B/W
Settings. In that list, choose White.

Repeat for View | Grayscale.

That way, no matter whether you print in pure black and white or in
grayscale, the object will print as a white object.

GOTO YOUR PRINTER SETTINGS FROM THE START MENU. CHANGE THE SETTING ON
THE PRINTER TO BORDERLESS. GO BACK TO POWERPOINT AND PRINT UNDER
SLIDES NOT HANDOUTS. MAKE SURE YOU ALSO SELECT BORDERLESS PRINTING
UNDER YOUR PROPERTIES BOX. I worked on this forever till I figured it
out and I found little help on the net. I hope this helps.

Not all printers have a borderless option.

Echo,

I selected the object of interest, went to View/Grayscale, then a
Grayscale toolbar popped up. In the toolbar, I selected 'White'. In
Print Preview and in the actual Print I no longer have the border. I
guess I need to go back and do the same for black and white.

So now, thanks to your help, I can use these objects to mask out
unwanted parts of other objects. I have a 'history' with the Mac and I
still expect WYSIWYG from MS PC applications. I can dream can't I?

Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks for the input. I had success with ECHO S's solution. See my
reply to ECHO S for details of what I did.

Wouldn't setting the printer to borderless make everything in the
slides borderless? I'll try what you suggested to see if it does
effect all objects. It might give me another arrow for my quiver for
future problems or it might be an alternative to the current issue.

Thanks again for the post.

You're welcome, Jeff. For the most part, I do find PPT to be WYSIWYG. That
particular fill+border when printing scenario is a bit odd. I guess PPT
figures that if there is a fill, there is, by definition, a border.

I think the setting this poster is referring to in PowerPoint is File |
Print | Frame Slides. This adds a frame (border) to the slides when
printing; it doesn't affect borders on individual objects on each slide.
