transparency different on 2 computers?

[Bruce]

I am doing a presentation for church and on the placeholder/textbox I have
20% transparency.
When I save it to the other computer, which has the same version, it seems
less transparent?

I know I can change the number again, wondering if there is something I
could check rather than going through all 40 slides?

thanks bruce

To start, let me say that I have not run into this yet.

I would check to make sure the DirectX versions are up to date and that both
systems have the same printer installed and set to default. Now, before you
start asking a whole bunch of WFT questions, let me explain.

PowerPoint uses a bunch of system functions and is dependent on them for
much of the rendering. If you have one system with a kick butt video card
and oodles of power, then it may render things a bit different than a TRS-80
(exaggeration, but you get the point).

So, I would check to see if one systems graphics capabilities are
significantly different than the other, update the printer drivers and
DirectX, and check the graphics acceleration settings for Windows.

I will check a few things, there is quite a difference in the graphics
accellaration between this one, and the other which is a laptop. Kind of
thought white was white in a color back ground.
Well could of been worse you could of said TI99 or even older lol

Also, this is the first time I recall using a color background in the text
box with transparency and it was not the same as here.
