PPT2000: Second Copy of a Printed Presentation Does Not Start on a New Page

This article was previously published under Q251391

SYMPTOMS

If you print multiple copies of a presentation containing an odd number of slides, and the Duplex and Flip on Long Edge (collate) options are selected, the first page of the even copies (second, fourth, sixth, and so on) is printed on the reverse side of the last page of the previous copy.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a).

To obtain SR-1/SR-1a, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
245025  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=245025/EN-US/ ) OFF2000: How to Obtain and Install Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a)
To temporarily work around this problem, use any of the following methods:
  • Print only one copy of the presentation at a time instead of printing multiple copies.
  • Turn off the Collate option.
  • If you are printing to a Printer Command Language (PCL) printer, add a blank slide at the end of the presentation, so that the presentation contains an even number of slides.
  • If you are printing to a PostScript printer, add a blank slide containing white text at the end of presentation so the presentation contains an even number of slides. PostScript does not print the blank slide unless the slide contains text or an object.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1/SR-1a.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
