 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Macintosh, version 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOM =

When you print a PowerPoint slide that contains a Word table object that contains shaded cells, a small gray box will print out in the lower-right corner of the table.

Note: This problem occurs only with Word 6.0 and Word 6.0.1, and only if the shaded cells are filled with a shade of black.

= RESOLUTION =

Change the foreground shading color of the table to something other than black:


 * 1) In PowerPoint, double-click the embedded Word table.
 * 2) Select all the rows and columns that contain shading.
 * 3) In Word, click Borders And Shading on the Format menu.
 * 4) Click the Shading tab.
 * 5) Click the pop-up menu to the right of foreground.
 * 6) Click Dark Gray (or some color other than black) on the menu.
 * 7) Click OK.
 * 8) On the File menu, click Update.
 * 9) On the File menu, click “Close and Return to .”

The slide should now print correctly.
