Tried printing to pdf, but shadow disappears. I did get it to work by File>Export>Powerpoint, and powerpoint will show the shadows, although not as well as keynote. You should be able to print or print-to-pdf from powerpoint (which oddly does keep the shadows).
On the other hand, all that assumes you have m$ office, which i'm sure many people here actively avoid (i had to buy it for excel to use for my undergrad biochem lab reports- bloody m$ dependant universities!).

Thanks for the reply, ora!
I do have office x, but when I export my keynote presentation to powerpoint, certain text-boxes are shifted.
I have a presentation of 73 slides and you could say that half of them are shifted somehow. Don't really want to bother with correcting those. So, there is no way to get it work over keynote? Actually I am not that annoyed about the missing shadow effects, but more about the transparency effect that is lost on the paper.

I agree the print features of Keynote are not as good as they could or should be. I have never been able to figure out how to get image transparency to print correctly and I have tried everything I can think of including printing to PDF. But it seems to have worked better in Keynote 1 FWIW I have submitted a problem report to Apple.

Sorry, Zammy, am pretty much out of ideas, unless you set the projection running and do a whole lot of screenshots, and that is going to take far too long.
I barely use keynote anymore (sadly) as problems with printing and running presentations on pc laptops caused me more hassle than they were worth. Especially font problems, with pcs displaying all my punctuation as silly dingbat characters, hardly a pro look for a presentation!

I have to agree with you, Ora. Using keynote means to keep the presentation just on your mac and not try to use on any pc machine. I was forced to do this, since I had serious performance issues on powerpoint x. Some animations were too slow to prove my tibooks speed. There were some issues with gif animations as well. In short: I decided to rather deal with incompatibility but laggy presentations. Hope office 2004 will do better.
Thanks for your help ora and perfessor!
