Several objects that I used to be able to hide ("don't show") in say, pure black and white mode, in ppt 2003, do not work in ppt 2007. That is, I can hide Excel objects in pure black and white mode in ppt 2003, but not in 2007. Options for these objects are unavailable in 2007. I've even tried presentations that I successfully hid these objects in 2003, bringing them in to 2007 to no avail. I am using Windows 7, but the same thing happened when I was using XP. Likely has nothing to do with OS.

Anybody know what's going on or if there is a work-around?

Thanks,
