PPT97: Slides with Automatic Animation Timing Print Incorrectly
This article was previously published under Q157162
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to print slides containing animations, some of your slides may not print as you expect. Specifically, if the animation timing is set to automatic, all objects on a particular slide that have animation effects
print at the same time. This means that if you have a slide with three
paragraphs of text that have build effects, the slide prints differently if
the build effects happen automatically versus if you have to advance them manually.
If the slide builds automatically, you get a single printed copy of the slide that contains all the animated text. If the slide builds manually, you get four printed copies of the slide: one copy without any of the built paragraphs, one copy with only the first paragraph, one copy with the first two paragraphs, and one copy with all three paragraphs.
CAUSE
PowerPoint treats multiple automatic animation effects as though they are
all parts of one large animation effect. This was designed for use with 35mm slides and slide shows. In this case, the most natural way of representing a 35mm slide projector was to print those events that were set to be manually activated in the animation sequence to the physical 35mm slide changes.
RESOLUTION
If you want to print these slides with their animation effects, you must
temporarily change the animation timings to manual.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Standard Edition
