I have a slide deck that has an image in the background of the slide
(in the corner). I have one slide where I need the background to be
the same, but without the image. So, I used an autoshape, filled with
the background color, to cover the image. It looks fine on the slide
show, but when I print, a line prints around the edges of the
autoshape. Is there anyway to keep that from printing? or is there
another way I should hide the image? I would greatly appreciate any
help anyone can give.

Thanks,
Carl

Are you printing in B@W? And what version of powerpoint is it?

I was, in fact, printing in B/W. I tried it in color and it worked.
Thanks!

It's PPT 2003, btw.

Thanks again,
Carl

If you need to print in B@W it can probably be solved

In XP or 2003 View > color/greyscale
You should see the line
Right click the shape and alter the B&W settings (probably to white)

iahusker,
Have you tried this on the slide in question: Format - Background - check
the box "Omit background graphics from
master" - Apply. Does that help?

I did try this, but it omits all graphics in the background, and I'm
just trying to cover up one specific graphic. Thanks for the idea,
though! I appreciate it.
