Hi Steve and Macropod,
Thanks for the advise. I created the file in Word 2007 using Save As PDF and
chose the high resolution option. However, in Word I don't see the options
that Steve mentioned for Power Point. Under Word Options > Advanced > "When
printing this document" I pnmly see "Print Postscript over text" and "Print
only the data from a form". I don't see any options for grayscale. Thanks
again (and in advance) for your help.
