PPT 2003
I've inserted a number of excel charts into powerpoint and am working with a
dark blue background.
I just want the text to be white, and show up against the background. For
some reason, ppt (or another component of the office) is inserting a black
area behind each piece of text in the title and both x and y axis. Is there
a way to remove this. I don't want to have to force an additional coloured
background in the cart, because I can't match it with the background in the
slide master.

There has to be a way to work around this.
Thanks so much for any help.
 
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ... that is the answer. thank you, thank you,
thank you.

You may need to open the chart, select the objects, choose Format | Object,
and on the Font tab, change the Background color to transparent.

You might also try recoloring the charts using this technique:
