Color - light to dark

[Barbara]

When i draw arrows in PowerPoint on a dark picture and
make them white or very light yellow - they are printing
as black when sent to the black and white printer! I have
had this happen before but it was an esthetic problem and
changeable where this is logistical. I have to have the
arrows light as the background is black. Does anyone have
a solution?

Thanks,
Barbara

This is the default for "lines" when you choose either "Pure black and
white" or "Grayscale". You can try clicking the dropdown arrow on your
Print Dialog box and choosing "Color". Even though you don't have a color
printer, it might print it in the right "grayscale" color on your B&W
printer. I haven't actually tried it, but if this does not work, then you
might be out of luck. SORRY! Maybe someone else will have a workaround.
