Summary:

In Microsoft PowerPoint version 1.00 or 1.01 some lines of text in a presentation may appear gray or appear to have a pattern instead of being solid black when printed on the Apple LaserWriter. This problem may occur when text is imported from a graphics program that creates its own PostScript (such as Cricket Draw and SuperPaint). This problem can usually be worked around in the following manner:


 * 1) Select the object containing the problem text.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Cut.
 * 3) From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint versions 1.00 and 1.01. This problem was corrected in PowerPoint version 2.00.
