Apply a Design Template - text does not update (PPT 2002)

[Guest]

I have slides based on a master: Blue Background, White Text
In the same file, I have another master that is White Background, Black
Text--no slides are based on it yet.

When I use "apply a design template" to assign this other master, all the
Blue BG changes to White (like it should), but the White Text of these slides
does not change over to the Black that is on this other master.

So I have written some vba that cycles through each object on each slide
converting it to black. There's got to be an easier way.

That may be because the white text on the original slides in based on white
(the absolute color value) rather than white (the text color in the color
scheme applied).

Geetesh, thanks for the quick response.

Based on what I understand you to say, I would try and use a color scheme
that has white but that also uses MY template background (assuming that's
possible).

The only color schemes I've used in the past involve all or nothing: where
the scheme controls the text and the background.

But can I keep my own back ground template? I'll attempt that solution.

When you change (or edit) a color scheme, the background is not changed.

Here's information on color schemes and why some colors change, but others
don't:
