Working with multiple masters...

[Guest]

I am trying to create a "virtual black and white" view of my presentation. I
have created a black and white master slide, but not all of my text in the
existing presentation will conform to the Master Slide. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to force every slide to conform to the text formatting in
black and white? We cannot use the regular black/white because we are
exporting to word to print 3 notes pages per page. Thanks!

Hows your vba coding?

This should do it

Sub blackwhite()
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oshp As Shape
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
If oshp.HasTextFrame Then
oshp.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Color = vbBlack
End If
Next oshp
Next osld
End Sub

There are explainations of how to use code here:

Thanks! That's almost what I want! The problem is, is that I have yellow and
white text on a blue background that I want to STAY yellow and white in the
main presentation, but becomes black in the "virtual black and white". Thanks
again.
