Kees,
Here's the trick, assuming you are using PPT 2000 or newer. I don't have
older versions to test. I just (finally) learned this trick from Echo and
Kathy at PowerPoint Live this week:
After you have your shapes looking as you want them:
* view the slide in Black and White or Grayscale mode
* select the object for which you want to remove the line (the rectangle in
your example)
* right-click that object and on the pop-up menu select:
- "Black and White" (PPT 2000), or
- "Black and White Setting" or "Grayscale Setting" (PPT 2002, 2003)
* select "White"
The slide should now print without the line around the rectangle, but it
will still look the way you want it to in color. The key point to remember
is that the settings for Black and White/Grayscale are distinct from the
color settings.
