I have charts within PP presentations that were created on a PC. When
the slides are printed in either greyscale or black and white from a
Mac running 2004 the chart axis text does not change to black on white
as the rest of the slide text does. I know this is easy to fix if we
change the "color" of the axis text, but that would require changing
the whole look of hundreds of presentations. Of course the Windows
people are blaming the Mac... Anyone have any ideas? I can't seem to
find a setting that will change it.

Hi Gary,

If you can put an example slide in ppt format on the web someplace so I
can download it if I can reproduce the problem I'll send it to the
PowerPoint folks.

I have a small sample. I can't post it in a place where you can
download it, but I can email it to you.

Thanks.

Hi,

Go ahead. You should be able to figure out the email address. Hint:
warmer than warm = hot
