[Solved] Dots on Notes Window

Post by Steve5 »

Recently, in one of my presentations, dots appeared all over the Notes Window in all the slides. Looks like there's eight dark ones going across and lighter ones marking out a square box. So it's like a grid of boxes covering the entire window. No idea how they appeared. How do I get rid of them?

Thanks.

FJCC has indicated the cure; note that these dots do not print if the presentation is printed or show when a presentation is made. They are "construction dots" to aid in laying out slides/notes in a regular fashion, if you turn them on.

Thanks, FJCC, that worked. Don't know how that was enabled.
