SYMPTOMS
========
Shadowed text may be printed without shadows when you print your presentation to
a black and white printer.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs because in PowerPoint you can specify a black and white
view for PowerPoint objects. By default, all objects are set to Automatic for
text objects. By selecting the Automatic option, black text is printed without
shadows.
RESOLUTION
==========
To ensure that your shadowed text objects print with shadows, select the
Grayscale option for the object's black and white view.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To customize the black and white behavior for an object:
1. On the View menu, click Black And White.
2. Select the object you want to customize.
3. Right-click the object, and then click Black And White on the menu that
appears.
You now see the list of black and white options for this object.
NOTE: Some printers cannot print text in any color other than black. If you use
one of these printers, shadowed text prints as doubled black text.
