Printing Animation/Builds in PPT XP

In previous versions of PowerPoint, it was very easy to
print the slides with builds to show each step of the
build. There was an option on the print menu. I cannot
figure out how to do this with PowerPoint XP. Does anyone
know how? Was there an upgrade we don't have?

Thanks!
 
No, this feature was taken out because the new animations available in XP
would have made "Print Slides with Builds" a nightmare. SORRY!

update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

PowerPoint 2002 and PowerPoint 2003 do not have the capability to print
with animations, without resorting to VBA or add-ins, due to the complexity
and non-sequential possibilities added to animation effects beginning with
PowerPoint 2002.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that PowerPoint
should include some kind feature for printing slides/handouts/notes other
than how they appear in normal/slide view, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
