I'm using PowerPoint 2000. I thought that at one time in the print dialog,
there was a setting that allowed me control if the graphic background is
printed or not. But I don't see this option. The only way for me to remove
the graphic background from being printed is to remove it from the slide
master, print and quit the Powerpoint file. Please advise. Thanks.

Paul, check the presentation in B/W view. Then head to the master slide
(View/Master). Right-click on the background and select B/W settings.
You'll want white or "don't show."

You might also check out what happens if you print Pure Black and White
as opposed to Greyscale. That might just be enough to do what you want.

And just so you don't think you're losing it or anything <g>, I think
the background graphic printing changed a little from PPT 97 to 2000.
ISTR having to work through this when PPT 2000 first came out.
