<P><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">My setup: TexPoint 2.11.2 with Power Point 2003 under Windows XP Pro, supported by MikTeX 2.5.2412 and gs 8.14.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I performed a </SPAN>default install and am trying out “Outline (EMF)” format in Display Mode.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>1) My PowerPoint template renders regular text in white over a colored background when slides are viewed onscreen.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But “Edit TexPoint Display / Make display” renders my symbols black by default.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I need to change to white.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>From the TexPoint manual I can guess that as with the bitmap formats, EMF format requires I change the LaTeX source wrapper in the “Edit Latex Display” dialogue box from </FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>This seems to work, but is it the proper method?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(One problem: when printing slides, the regular text goes black, the background goes white, but my EMF output stays white, and hence disappears.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>2) From (1) it seems every initial Latex source wrapper must include \usepackage{color}and \color{white}.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Also, I need \documentclass{slides} instead of \documentclass{article} everywhere.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I believe there is no Configuration/Preferences entry to change the default wrapper, so it seems I must uninstall TexPoint and do a custom reinstall.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Correct?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>3) But even then, in order to print slides without the problem mentioned in (1) it would be even better to be able to (a) globally toggle all the embedded source wrappers between \color{white} and \color{black}, and (b) re-render my entire PPT document in a single step.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Currently i</SPAN>s there any efficient way to handle this printing setup issue?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>4) FYI my PowerPoint buttons are sometimes locked after going into and out of the “Edit TexPoint Display” dialogue.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To unlock them I need to minimize my PowerPoint window and reopen it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So I’m worried a big session might crash.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I also noticed that when my PowerPoint session has an open “Edit TexPoint Display” dialogue, then when everything goes behind another window and is brought back, half the time only the “Edit TexPoint Display” dialogue comes forward.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Thanks for TexPoint.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is sorely needed.</FONT></P>
