PPT97: Some Presentations Print Blank from PowerPoint Viewer 97 (170799)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q170799 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to print a presentation from Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer
97, your printer ejects one or more blank pages instead of printing the
slides in that presentation.
CAUSE
The presentation is configured to print as notes or handouts pages by
default. PowerPoint Viewer 97 cannot print notes or handouts pages, so it
prints blank pages instead.
RESOLUTION
To print the presentation in PowerPoint Viewer 97, open the presentation
in PowerPoint 97 and change the default print properties so that the
presentation does not print as notes pages or handouts by default. To do
this, use the following steps:
- Open the presentation in PowerPoint 97.
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Print tab.
- Click "Use the Following Default Print Settings" button.
NOTE: To clear custom printing properties for the current presentation,
click "Use the Most Recently Used Print Settings" instead.
- In the Print What list, select the item you want. For example, click
Slides.
- Click OK.
When you click the Print button, the presentation prints according to the
settings you just made.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft PowerPoint
Viewer 97. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
