powerpoint >> SmartArt Graphics won't print

by d2xmbGR5 » Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:36:01 GMT

I have a Office 2003 powerpoint slide that contains an organization chart
that has been converted to an Office 2007 presentation. The org chart was
converted to a smartart graphic. When I print the slide, the smartart graphic
does not print. The other items on the slide print, but not the converted
chart. Can anyone help me with this please?

I printed in Black and White and color and get the same results. There is a
smudge to the right of the page that appears to be the graphic in a tiny
compressed smudge. The only reason I think the smudge is the graphic is
because the last mark in the smudge is a valid character that i can read.

Well, I'd try updating printer drivers, and I'd also try going to Office
Button | PPT Options and turning on "high quality" in the Print section.

We had another poster recently with a similar problem, but I wasn't able to
resolve it. Neither was HP, it seems (which is the type of printer that user
has). I don't know what else to suggest, though.

If you save the file as a PDF, does it print then? What if you save it as a
97-2003 PowerPoint file? Will that print? (I don't think that will really
make a difference unless you're actually printing in PPT 2003 or prior,
though.)

1. Templates and graphics in background won't print

Hi,
I have a presentation made in Vista with Powerpoint 2007 by a consultant. At 
the office we still have Powerpoint 2000. When we print the presentation no 
background graphics are printed. It looks like it was printed with Black & 
White.
Is there something we can do to remedy this?
Appreciate your help.

5. graphics won't print or show in Print Preview

Suddenly all of the graphics I have used in .docs in the past are not 
printing. And the text portion of the document appears in print preview as

they do not show in print preview. Yet they are there in Print Layout just as 
they were originally placed and formatted.
Help! This is driving me nuts.

7. Custom animating "SmartArt Graphics"

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I am trying to animate individual objects in a SmartArt Graphics group. As far as I can tell, I can only apply one type of animation to the entire group. Does anyone know how to animate different objects in the group differently? For example, one "box" just appears, but the arrow "wipes" from left to right?
