Are these columns also missing in any Print Preview? Do you recover these columns if you print in landscape mode?

Has your Office 2007 got all the relevant updates from Windows?

print preview, all ok.
nothing wrong with it.

just that once you print it to paper or PDF, something will gone missing, whether it was a chart, objects or table.

2007 is fully patched.

i can only assume that, Microsoft did not do a good job on the 2003 to 2007 thing.

surprisingly, office 2010 seems to be able handle 2003 powerpoint files brilliantly. seamless

have you attempted to save it as a 2k7 DOCX first, reopening it and then print a PDF?

Hi I did convert it to PPTX from PPT.

but the problem persists after that. still looks fine on the preview but once print, something gone missing.

there are 2 work around:

use office 2010, bingo!

using office 2007, copy slide by slide from ppt to a new pptx. you will see the formatting lost once it lands on the new PPTX file. but you can print it!!!
