Printing I get a pinkish box around my images.

[Debbie]

My images print a pink tone box around my bitmap. I can
see it slightly on screen and when it prints it prints
that. What causes this and how can I correct it?

What kind of images (bmp, tif, jpg) and how did you put them on the slides?
(copy/paste ot Insert>picture>from file)

They are bitmaps and they were inserted by copy and paste
and then by insert file. Same results.

Is there a chance that a line was applied to the image after it was
inserted?

Otherwise...you might ask again in a couple days when the Ppt conference is
over. (many of the MVPs are there)

Debbie,

do you have a graphics processing program (MS Paint and MS PhotoEditor
usually come with Office; PaintShopPro or the like has more features)? With
this you can find out the RGB values of this "pinkish" area. Pure white
should be R=255, G=255, B=255. Recolor the area to pure white and insert the
edited file.

If your printer still prints pink, it's not the fault of PPT but your
printer needs to be calibrated.

Kind regards,
Ute

There are some photoshop issues with some images inserted into PPT. It
could also be a video driver issue, although I'm not sure that would
affect the printing.
