SUMMARY
If you try to print a PowerPoint 4.0 presentation that contains embedded objects created in CorelDRAW! versions 4.0 or 5.0 to the Genigraphics driver, you may receive the following message:
This error will occur if you do not have CorelDRAW! installed on your computer.
This error will not occur if you print the presentation to an actual printer (such as a LaserJet or dot-matrix printer.)
WORKAROUND
You can get your presentation to print correctly by performing the following steps:
- Open the presentation in PowerPoint.
- For each embedded CorelDRAW! object, do the following:
- Click the object once to select it.
- From the Draw menu, choose Ungroup. You will see the following warning:
- Choose the OK button.
MORE INFORMATION
When you print a presentation to the Genigraphics driver, you create a compressed copy of that presentation. The compression process saves information about the embedded objects in the presentation. If there is no information about CorelDRAW! in your computer's registration database (REG.DAT), the Genigraphics driver will not know how to compress CorelDRAW! objects.
Many OLE source applications include additional information in their objects. This information may allow the Genigraphics driver to correctly compress those objects even if the application that created them is not registered in REG.DAT. CorelDRAW! objects lack this additional information.
