About printing in black and white

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003

When you're creating a presentation in color, you might want to print handouts in shades of gray (grayscale) or in pure black and white. Grayscale and pure black-and-white objects in your presentation appear on the screen and print in the ways listed below. Note that bitmaps, clip art, and charts show in grayscale, even when printed in pure black-and-white mode.
