Convert All Slides to Grayscale and/or B & W

[Guest]

I have 'color' slides and want to convert the whole shebang -- text,
photos-in-slides, everything, the entire content -- to grayscale or b/w. I'm
using PP 2000 in office 2000. This is distinguished from 'printing' in
grayscale, etc. which I do know how to do. I want to convert the actual
entire 'presentation' to grayscale. Is that possible?

Thank you in advance!! JP

This would require a complicated solution thru VBA. Do you know VBA
programming?

In several ways; the least knowledge-intensive (ie, no VBA required) would be to
export all of your slides to PNG images, use Irfanview (free, www.irfanview.com)
to batch convert them to grayscale, then import the images back into a new blank
presentation.

In addition to the other suggestions you've received, you might also be able
to simply apply a new color scheme to your presentation.

How well this will work will depend on how the file itself has been set up.
