Half of rectangle lost

[MikeCT]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I have a presentation with a table and have drawn a rectangle around it. The fill is 'None' and the line is 30pt. On screen it looks just fine but when I print (inkjet) the line only shows on the left half of the table. i.e.it draws the left side and half of the top and bottom sides.

Any ideas how to get the entire rectangle to print?

Thanks

What else is on the slide? It sounds like you might have other content
covering the right portion of the rectangle -- even if that content has no
visible characteristics. [Oversized content placeholders are a likely
candidate.] Try selecting the rectangle & using the Bring to Front command.

If that isn't the cause of the problem, make sure that both Office & OS X
are fully updated and that you have the latest print driver - check the
mfr's site for an update.

Sorry it didn't help, Mike, but you're losing me now... What do you mean by
"preview mode" & "screen mode" -- neither of which are names of viewing
modes available in PPT. Remember, from here I can't see what you're seeing,
so it's important that you use the terminology PPT uses. Otherwise I haven't
a clue what you're referring to.

What happens if you save the slide as a picture? Save it as a PDF?
