Ppt 2003, sending to Word

[Sue]

In 2003 when I send a slide presentation to Word I cannot
get it to export in Black and White. Even when I change
the Color/Greyscale to Greyscale or pure black and white
in Ppt and save it. It's still in color in Word.
Any ideas?

This is an agravation that many have. While using Send to Word when viewing in
B&W in previous versions (2000 and 97??) resulted in B&W being sent, it no
longer works. I believe that Microsoft might view that as "by design".

Yup, that would be the upshot.

Only real workaround I know at this time is to find a version of PPT 2000
and do the Send to Word there.

Beware, though -- in my office we've just discovered that if you have PPT
2000 and PPT 2003 on the same system, some of the font kerning may be off in
the Send to -- even if you force PPT 2000 to send to Word 2000 instead of
Word 2003. Depending on your slides, it may not be a problem, but with the
particular presentations I've been working with, it is a significant
problem.

We've had to strip all versions of PPT off of one common machine and load
Office 2000 specifically for this purpose. I'm *not* happy about it, and
yeah, MS has heard that. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

Please take a few minutes to register with MS your issues with this
non-feature. Contact Microsoft: Use MSWish to request features, report
problems, etc. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00545.htm
