is there any way that I can have a background in a
slideshow and have a different background when the
document is printed in black and white?

I've applied my background image by going to Format >
Background > click the colour dropdown > Fill Effects >
Picture (tab) and select image, and this disappears when I
change the view to black and white, but I'd still like to
have our logo on the black and white.

If I paste the logo in the slide master, it actually
appears over the background image.

does someone have a soloution?

TIA
 
If you keep the logo as a separate object on the Slide Master and not part
of the background, it will still print in black and white or gray scale.
 
Hi Sonia,
that was my first thought, but the logo appeared in a
white box over the background when in normal slide view. I
only need the logo to appear on each slide only when its
printed in grayscale/b+w.

I'm using PowerPoint 2000. Apparently the version on XP
has an option when you right-click on the image to "hide
when printed"

(am i missing something?)
tx, Gloria
 
You can't have something different when you print in black and white unless
you add it each time you want to print. I thought the logo was there in
color too.

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, 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).
