I've laid a text box over a photo in a slide, and in order that the text
should stand out, made it white. However, when i print preview and when i
print, the text comes out in black. I'm unsure why it does this. any
suggestions?

Are you printing in B/W or in color?

Which version of PPT?

PPT 2003

ah - i'm printing in B/W. does that make a difference? (I still want it to
come out in white though, as it's laid over a dark picture!)

Thanks.

Go to View | Grayscale. Then right-click the textbox, choose Grayscale
Settings | White.

Then repeat for View | Black and White.
