How do I change the text color on all my slides at one time?

[Guest]

I am trying to change the text color on all of my slides at one time.

Depending how they were entered you can probably change the colour on the
slide master.

Just in case they text is not in placeholders following the master you should
be able to go to Format > slide design
Choose color schemes > Edit color schemes
Change the text color and OK/ apply

Or try changing them in the color schemes.
Click Format > Slide Design > Color Schemes > Edit Color Schemes.
Change color for "Text and lines" and "Title text".

What the guys said.

But also

If your slides don't follow the master or the color scheme (happens more
often than we like to think), then you have to do it manually. Or use this
code:

Change the font color of text

That code looks so useful that Ive made a small change to make it easier to
enter colour values!

Sub ChangeFontColor()

Dim R As Integer
Dim G As Integer
Dim B As Integer

R = Val(InputBox("Please input red value"))
G = Val(InputBox("Please input green value"))
B = Val(InputBox("Please input blue value"))

Dim oSld As Slide
Dim oShp As Shape
Dim oShapes As Shapes

For Each oSld In ActivePresentation.Slides
Set oShapes = oSld.Shapes
For Each oShp In oShapes
If oShp.HasTextFrame Then
If oShp.TextFrame.HasText Then
oShp.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Color.RGB = RGB(R, G, B)
End If
End If
Next oShp
Next oSld
End Sub

Did that help?

Nice touch ... thanks. I've incorporated the change into the one on the FAQ
