problems printing to PS printer

[shai rubin]

I have a slide with a single object: a text box containing 'hello
world'.
I have set the 'fill' of this text box to completely white. Inside
powerpoint the text box looks the same as a text box with 'fill' set
to 'no fill'.

But, when I print the slide using a postscript printer, I'm getting a
line surranding the text box. This does not happen when the 'fill' is
set to 'no fill', only when I set to 'fill' to white.

I want to get rid of the surrounding line in the printing.

Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks

Shai

You have a text box that does what you want when you change the fill to 'No
fill'.

I'd recommend changing the fill to 'No fill'. (vbg)


Or, you might try changing the border line color to white.

This should happen when you print to any b/w printer, not just PS ones.
Choose View, B&W to see on screen how PPT will print to b/w printers.

While in B/W view, rightclick the object and click Black & White from the
popup menu. On the popup from there, try one of the options other than the
default Automatic. Grayscale will probably do it for you.

Mmmm, actually, I think it happens regardless. If the textbox has a
fill, you get a line when printing in black and white.

Probably the best bet is to put a rectangle (autoshape) with a
background-colored fill underneath the textbox and set it to "white" in
the B/W settings. Then set the textbox to "no fill" and in its B/W
settings, leave it set to "black with white fill" or "automatic" or
whatever it is that prints without a line when the textbox has no fill.

Lucky. <g>

Maybe the difference is printing in grayscale vs (pure) black and white.
