  Question
  I have a presentation where the silde master has a green background. All
subsequent slides using the master have white text. I can easily print all my
slides using the greyscale option for printing of slides. It eliminates the
green background and makes it white, while also turning all the white text to
black. That works great.
But if I wish to quickly print the slides in color while also eliminating
the background color, It does not allow me to do that. I seem to be forced to
create an alterate presentation, change the color of the master to white, and
then painstakingly change all the text on each slide to black. All this in a
effort to get a color prinout without a dark background.
Why does the greyscale option eliminate the background and the color option
does not. Or is there a way that I can print in color and automatically turn
the background off. Please keep in mind I have white text that needs to
change to black automatically too.
Patrick

  Answer
  If your text follows the slide color scheme, you can edit the color scheme
and change the white swatch to black. That will turn *all* white items to
black, though. See http://www.echosvoice.com/colorschemes.htm for
information on PPT and color schemes.
