Printing issues!

Hi Everyone,

I have a powerpoint organizational chart in ppt2003. The problem is when I
set it to print to the color (networked) printer only I have to manually each
time set it to print to legal. How do I default this PPT to only print to
the color printer and legal size only?

Also I've saved it and it always reverts back to 8 1/2 by 11 instead of 8
1/2 by 14. I am open to any suggestions?

Thanks!

From the sound of it, you're just changing the settings when you print it.
That won't save with PowerPoint. Go to File>Page Setup, and change it to the
size you want, then save it.
 
Unfortunately, I've already tried that. Is there a way to designate the
printer to that PPT only.

Not that I know of.

There are two options at work here:

The Windows Printer settings (which include a page size and orientation)

The PowerPoint page setup (including a slide size and orientation)

The Windows printer settings is what you get when you click Properties in the PPT
print dialog box. Settings you choose there apply only for the current PPT session.

You can change the printer default settings but then all your other programs would
default to printing on legal paper; I don't think you'd want that.

Afraid you're stuck with the current "Change it every time you print" situation.
