Whwn printing handouts in grayscale, any text in a table is not visible. I
use black backgrounds and white, yellow or other light colors for text.  The
table is set to have no background. In earlier PPT, all text showed as solid
black in handouts, even in tables. Only the text contained within the tables
seemes to be affected. I've tried all the grayscale settings, to no avail.
The darker yellow text does show a faint gray. Any solutions?

Looks to me as if the grayscale settings don't work with tables. (They don't
work with charts, either. It's maddening.) Pure Black and White shows the
text in the tables, though.

If you go to the Design tab and use the Background Styles button to change
the background from dark to light, your text -- assuming it followed the
slide color scheme and used one of the Background/Text colors -- should
change accordingly so it shows up on the light background. Then it will
print in grayscale as well as pure black and white. Then, before you save
the file, go change the background style back to the dark one it was, and
the text will change back to light.

I think I need to put up a page about the background/text colors and how
they work together. Maybe I can do that over the weekend.
