how do I save a powerpoint file in B/W word file?

[Guest]

Slides are formatted for TV ... dark background, light type. I want to
somehow export the ppt presentation (in pure B/W, without background) into a
Word document. Can this be done without reformatting every slide?

If you have PPT 97 or 2000, you can put the file into B/W View, make sure
you're normal editing view (not slide sorter), and use File|Send to Word.
Choose Paste Link.

You'll get B/W thumbnails.

In 2002/2003, this is broken. You get color slides regardless.

I know someone who uses Shyam Pillai's Handout Wizard
http://www.mvps.org/skp/how/ to create the handouts in greyscale (so they'd
still have dark backgrounds and light text) and then uses the Invert option
for the images to change them to light background/black text. You might
experiment with that. It might also be possible to convert the thumbnails
and invert them using just regular Send toWord.
