Printing Transparent Gradients

[Diver Joe]

When printing an image created in Power Point containing a
Transparent Gradient, the portion of the image containing
the Transparent Gradient does not print in its entirety.
The same problem occurs after importing a Photoshop image
containing a Transparent Gradient into Power Point. How
can this problem be corrected? Does Microsoft have a
Fix?

Not a fix, but a possible workaround.

Select the objects with the transparent gradient applied AND everything
beneath them.
Choose Edit, Copy.
Then choose Edit, Paste Special, as PNG if that's available.

That will give you a bitmap image that looks like what you had before, but
won't actually include any transparency info. And it'll print ok.

I'd do this on a copy of the slide,
