When you're creating a presentation in color, you might want to print handouts in shades of gray (grayscale) or in pure black and white. Grayscale and pure black-and-white objects in your presentation appear on the screen and print in the ways listed below. Note that bitmaps (bitmap: A picture made from a series of small dots, much like a piece of graph paper with certain squares filled in to form shapes and lines. When stored as files, bitmaps usually have the extension .bmp.), clip art (clip art: A single piece of ready-made art, often appearing as a bitmap or a combination of drawn shapes.), and charts show in grayscale, even when printed in pure black-and-white mode.
