SYMPTOMS
When printing handouts (3 per page), Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0 automatically places lines on the right-hand side of the printout. You may find that the line thickness varies from page to page, or even within a page. There are no menu options to control or disable this feature.



CAUSE
The thickness of the lines on Handouts is influenced by the bottom slide image on each Handouts page. The color and line thickness of the line or border that is closest to the front of the 3rd slide image controls the thickness of the lines on the right side of the page.



RESOLUTION
One way of controlling this behavior is to place a line or bordered object of the desired thickness and color on every 3rd slide, then use the Bring to Front command on the Draw menu to bring the object to the front of the stack of objects on that slide.

The line may be hidden within a thicker line of the same color, if desired, but must not be obscured by a filled object.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
