1. Every time I open my PP presentation it has defaulted to the grayscale and I have to change it back. It won't save? Any ideas?

2. Despite checking "hide" sound icon, it still shows up in the presentation. How do I get rid of it?

Thanks to the experts!
 
1) Check what your default printer is. If you want color to be the default
when you print preview, you need to have a color printer selected. (Or did I
complete mis-read this question?)

2) Easiest way around having the sound icon visible: Drag it off the slide
and onto the gray area behind the slide. The sound will still play as you
have it set up, it just won't show during the presentation.

Kathryn: Thanks for the suggestions. It is the PP slide itself that defaults to the grayscale. I will look at the printer setting though...maybe that has an effect. I did try to pull the icon off the slide to the gray area....and it went, but as a copy and the original sound icon remained....any other ideas?
Thanks a bunch

The greyscale default is due to an accessibility option (high contrast)
that's set in Windows. Check your control panel for accessibility
stuff...

For the sound icon, don't hold down CTRL or any other buttons while you
drag. If you're not holding those down, and you're still getting a copy,
you might have a stuck key on your keyboard.
 
Echo S,

Thanks for the grayscale tip. This has plagued me since I got XP.
