Fohzia has attended:
Powerpoint Introduction course

Grayscale feature

Please could you help, I am trying to 'grey/fade' out a section (words and figures) within some presentations and have used the grayscale function, I highlight the words/figures within the presentation (text box) I want to grey out (either by selecting 'gray with white fill' or a 'light grayscale'), on screen it seems to have worked but as soon as I do a print view or slide view and in fact print the page out it has not greyed the area out at all and does not seem to register it has been done

Please could you advise?

many thanks

Fohzia

RE: Grayscale feature

Hi Fohzia

Thank you for your question.

Would it help you if tried adding this as a watermark? You can do this with some printers, by going into File - Print then going into Properties and having a look around for where you can set a watermark.

Powerpoint tip:

Use Paint Brush to do Multiple Formating in Powerpoint

To copy a format from one piece of text or from a Text box in Powerpoint to multiple words or Text boxes

1. Select the word/text box with the format that you want to copy

2. Double-click on the paint brush icon on the Toolbar

When you move to the word/text box where you want to paste the format you will notice that a paint brush follows the cursor.

Paste the format to all the words and text boxes you need to format.

When finished go back to the paint brush on the Toolbar and single click on it to deactivate the function.
