I too would like to print in black and white. Is this possible with
the Mac version?

I am trying to print notes in black and white on a Mac without having
the slide background show. Can anyone let me know if this is possible?

I won't be able to use the Mac for a few days, so I'm hoping someone else can pick
up on this. But have you tried the Grayscale and/or Pure B/W options for printing
your notes pages?

Hi,

There seems to be a little trick to doing this.

Before you print, use View > Master > Notes Master.

Click on the box that represents the slide to select it, then use Format >
Notes Background. Click the pop-up control and choose Automatic. Then click
the Apply button.

Then click the Close button on the tiny Notes Master toolbar.

Now use File > Print. In Print What choose Notes. For Output choose
Grayscale or Black and White. The slide background will not print, but it
will display normally on screen.

-Jim
