Print review problem

[Guest]

Hi.
I am working with ppt 2003 sp1 english version.

Just a quickie about the printing review icon / command.
I use it to check what my slides are going to look like once printed in B&W.
The problem is that if I am viewing for instance slide 46 or 57 or anything
different than slide 1 in the normal view, once I click the Print Review
button, I am forced to slide 1, so that I have to scroll several times to
check the slide I am interested in.

Is there a way of seeing directly the slide I am working on when I click
print review? Is it an issue that Microsoft should address?

Thanks

If you go to File > Print and set it to print slide 46, you can then click the
Preview button and see just that slide.

Not really; it's showing you what you'll get when you click the Print button.
By default, that's all of the slides in the presentation.

BUT

Choose File, Print and select an option that limits the print range, the click
Preview in the lower left corner of the Print dialog box and PPT will show you
... again ... what it'll print. Fewer slides this time.

BUT

I think you'll like this one better yet: Choose View, Color/Grayscale. From
the flyout menu, choose the same option you plan to use when you print
(Color/Grayscale/Pure Black and White).

Now you're still in normal editing mode, but PPT's showing you what your slides
will look like on the printer.
