SUMMARY
=======
The Print dialog box in PowerPoint gives you two options for black and white
printing. These options are called Black AND White, and Pure Black And White,
respectively.
You can use the Black And White option for printing your slide as a gray-scale
representation of the color version you see on the screen. Or, you can use the
Pure Black And White option for printing the entire presentation in black and
white only. In other words, all shades of gray are changed to either black or
white.
MORE INFORMATION
================
In PowerPoint 97, you can control how any selected object is printed when using
