Is there a way to control how slides print in black and white?
In PowerPoint 95, 97, and 2000 you can specify how every object on the page prints, separately from how it will display on the screen. It’s a super-useful but pretty darned hidden feature. In slide view, click on the “B&W View” button at the far right of the main toolbar. This will show you how your slide will print to a black and white printer. To change any object, click on the object (or the background) with your RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON and select options from the “Black and White…” pop-aside menu choice. You can also do this for object on your slide master.
