I'm currently trying to print a powerpoint presentation that shows markups
made since the original. I've tried using the "Show Markup" feature under
the Review tab, however, that icon is grayed out. I'm not sure how to gain
access to that icon. Any suggestions for making that icon work or other
options for printing powerpoint slides with changes shown?

I have both 2007 and 2003 versions of PowerPoint, although I'd prefer to
learn how to do this in the 2007 version.

Thank you,
Kristen
 
Oh, you know, the Show Markup is there to show or hide comments. But you
must have comments in the file for it to show or hide. Show Markup doesn't
show changes to the slides the way, say, Word's Track Changes would.

If there are no comments in the slides, the Show Markup option isn't
available because there's nothing to show.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I've determined. I'm thinking that there's no
way to print tracked changes in PowerPoint like there is in Word. Thanks for
your help!

Right. No way to track changes in PPT 2007.
