X in images or text boxes when printing
We have printed several large posters that have been made in Powerpoint. The
finished posters are usually about 4ft x 3ft, and we save them as either ppt, pptx or pdf files. Unfortunately, several of our posters are marred by big crosses through the text boxes and/or images. We can't figure out why - it doesn't happen when they are printed on regular-sized paper, just on poster-sized paper. (Sounds like an issue with the printer?) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

I'd guess it's a memory issue with the printer or maybe a printer driver
problem. One way around it might be to print or save the file as a PDF and then print the PDF. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2010? http://www.echosvoice.com/2010.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "buggirl" wrote in message ...

Thanks - we have tried printing them as pdfs too, and sometimes that helps,
but not always. I think we have narrowed it down to a PC versus Mac problem.... "Echo S" wrote: I'd guess it's a memory issue with the printer or maybe a printer driver problem.
