Printing A5 from Powerpoint

[Mark]

Hi

I need to be able to print 2 ppslides as A5 to one piece
of A4 paper - I've managed this via option of number of
slides per page (associated with the printer driver), but
get a single line border added to each slide. Anyone know
have to remove this / other method ??

PS - HP 4000 series printers

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark

You should be able to turn off the border around slides when you print them.
Look in the print options menu and make sure the option "Frame Slides" is
unchecked.

Do you have the "Frame slides" option selected in PPT's print dialog box?
You'll want that turned off.

I'm not familiar with the printer or driver options, but I'll assume you've
looked for a similar "Frame pages" or the like type of setting there? Oh,
and have you tried printing to the same driver, same settings from another
app, Notepad, even, to see if the driver always outlines pages when it does
n-up printing like this?

Oh, I need to throw something in here...

1. Check the Master slides to make sure that there's no extraneous shape or
anything in the background or on the template that could be causing this.

2. If there is something there, delete it.

3. If there's not something there, try what Steve said below.

4. If that doesn't work, then you're seeing something I ran across a couple
of years ago that about drove me nuts! I think those extra lines that don't
show up on the slide or the master or anywhere else but still print on N-up
slide images are caused by some kind of minor file corruption--possibly as a
result of opening/editing the file in many different versions of PPT. (This
has happened on more than one of my older files that has really been through
the wringer throughout the years.)

In my case, only certain slides would print this way and I never was able to
actually *solve* the problem. IIRC, I think I decided it was an issue with
the template itself, but it seems I'm always rushing to make a deadline when
this happens so I just use "my fastest workaround" described below. <g>

5. My fastest workaround: Open up the Master view and put background-colored
boxes on the edges of the slides. Then switch to B/W mode (while still in
Master view), right-click the edge-covering boxes and choose "white" from
the B/W Settings options. This will keep the oddball edge from printing in
B/W on N-up.
