Microsoft Project - Printing Text Boxes and Drawings

Marie -  
 Marie -
Hello,
I have a project file in Microsoft Project where I insert text boxes (from the Drawing tab). The problem is that when I print my project (regardless of the printer, even with PDF creator), only the text and two edges of the text box rectangle appear. The text is in the right color that I chose, but the two edges are black even though I set them to blue, for example.
However, in project view, the frame and text display correctly...
Do you know how I can solve this issue?
Thank you!!
Marie

But I can't insert an image into the project, can I?
Anyway, I don't know how to do it...
Or maybe you're talking about a screenshot to describe my problem?

No, I was indeed talking about a screenshot to print the slide that is giving you trouble.

PowerPoint was designed to present images and text on the screen. It can only secondarily be used to print a report. But in this case, we can't do everything that is available on Word or Excel. So it's not surprising that you're encountering some issues...
If you send an excerpt of your presentation with the problematic slide, we can try to find a way to workaround the difficulty.
 1) Go to https://www.cjoint.com/ 
2) Click on [Browse] to select your file (max 15 MB)
3) Scroll down and click on the blue button [Create Cjoint link]
4) After a few seconds, the second page will display, with the link in bold; right-click on it and choose "Copy link"
5) Go back to your discussion on CCM, and in your message, select "Paste".

No, I'm not on Power Point, I'm on Microsoft Project (to make schedules)!

Excuse me; I just answered a question about PowerPoint...
However, my explanation remains generally valid for MS Project!

But how do you insert an image in MS Project?

I suppose in the same way that you insert the text area ...
I have never had the curiosity or need to do that!

Well, actually no... If I could insert an image, I would be the happiest!
