Printing Presentation

[Guest]

I printed a PowerPoint xp presentation (I tried it on several printers, as well as printing it to Adobe Acrobat, same result) and it changes the font and color of the title on each slide (color from dark red to black - font from Arial to Times New Roman). Our helpdesk folks checked whether it was a printer problem, but it's not. They can't help me, can anyone here?

Thanks,
Myriam

A couple of things ...

Do you have a local printer installed, or just the network printer?

Do you have the 'Grayscale' or 'Pure Black & White' options checked in the
print dialog?

Are you using a color printer (you'd be amazed)?

Do other printed document colors approximate the correct displayed colors?

What size font are you using?

Let's start with these and post back, we'll go from there.

Nobody's sure what causes this, but it's a known problem, at least
the part about the font change; the color part's a new one.

If it's the problem I'm thinking of, it's not a printer issue.

Usually deleting and re-creating the slide fixes it.

Can you delete all but one or two of the slides in the presentation
and still produce the problem? If so, I'd like to get a copy of the
one-slide presentation along with whatever info you can supply about
its history; what system it was created on, what versions of PPT
it's been edited in and so on.
