<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

<P><SPAN class=903543707-15082006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This
is almost the proper method. The only problem is that it is not a good
idea to use straight white as the foreground color. You should use <FONT
face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>\color[rgb]{0.9,0.9,0.9} instead
(see the FAQ). </FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=903543707-15082006>The printing problem seems to be unrelated
to TexPoint. See your Powerpoint settings. In general, it does not seem to be
a good idea to print black background, so perhaps PPT has some special
handling for this, which of course it is not smart enough to apply to images.
</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=903543707-15082006> </SPAN>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><FONT face=Arial

<P><BR><SPAN class=903543707-15082006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<P><SPAN class=903543707-15082006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>No
need to reinstall TexPoint. Read the manual for the configuration option
that sets the template. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=903543707-15082006> </SPAN>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?</P>
<P><BR><SPAN class=903543707-15082006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>[George Necula] You can reprocess all displays in a batch, but not
change them automatically the way you want. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=903543707-15082006> </SPAN>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 Im 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.</P>
<P><BR><SPAN class=903543707-15082006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>[George Necula] This is a problem that I would like to understand
better. When you press Make Bitmap, it is normal to have to wait a bit,
especially if this is the first time you press than button in a while. While
Make Bitmap is working it is normal for the other PPT functions to stop
working. It is also normal for the first time you press Edit TexPoint Display
to take a few seconds. This is when TexPoint initializes itself. But this
should not happen anymore in the same PPT session. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=903543707-15082006> </SPAN>Thanks for TexPoint.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is sorely needed.</P>
