Black and White

[ppointHelp]

I have a presentation with a black background and text (and some other
objects like arrows) with various colors. I want the background to be white
and the text black. How should I go about doing that?

I tried changing the theme but some boxes remain unchanged (i don't know
why), and I have to manually change them.

I tried selecting all the text from the 'slides' tab in the left pane but
some of the text doesn't even show there.

I think the ones that don't change are text boxes.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Perhaps http://www.echosvoice.com/colorschemes.htm will explain what's
happening. This if for 2003, but the principle's the same for 2007.

@ Taj:

I don't want to print them though. I want it to be black and white in
presentation mode. So basically if I view it as black and white, that's
exactly how I want it to be in the slideshow. But apparently that is only for
viewing and doesn't change anything. Any way of making the view things,
permanent?

Thanks!

@ Echo S:

I had already tried playing around with that but the text boxes remain
unchanged.

Thanks!

You'll probably have to change them manually, then -- they maybe weren't
based on the color scheme.

You might also need to change the placeholders on the slide master -- but
that's a different problem than "manual" textboxes.
