Re: Printing from PowerPoint

Graham, print issues are often squirrely, so we might have to come at this
with multiple passes. The first variable I would want to eliminate is that
of the default printer. In short, make sure that the printer you are
printing to is the one that Windows recognizes as the default. In other
words, when you press Ctrl+P, the desired printer should already be
selected.

If that is not the case, then you are composing slides with a different
print driver in place than the one you are ultimately using to print. This
was a much bigger deal a decade ago (I'm sure Steve R. has all sorts of
horror stories from days gone by), but nonetheless I have seen it with my
own eyes today how type moves depending upon the active print driver.

So let's isolate that variable: Make sure that the same printer is selected
as the default in both locations.

We have an issue printing Powerpoint slides whereby the font size is
increased when printed to a physical printer or even to PDF. To
complicate
things, the slides are in Japanese (may not be relevant - font is
STFangsong). When I print the slides on my PC in London they work fine
(including PDF), but in the Tokyo office, the font size prints larger (on
numerous different printers and also in PDF). The configuration of the
PCs
should be similar. I suspect it is a printer driver issue but having
asked
the user to try different printers, they still have the same issue.

Is it possible to set the font to print differently in PowerPoint to that
on
the screen? Any tips on what else I need to look for?
