Hello,

I've had this problem before but don't remember what the fix is. I inserted
slides from another PPT file to my current one. When I did, on some of the
slides the title text and some of the main text turned black. It was yellow
in the original presentation. I select it all and change it to yellow text,
save the changes, then close the presentation. When I reopen it the text is
black again. It's a big problem since my background is black, but even if it
wasn't black I still need to correct it.

Any thoughts on what to do to correct this? PPT 2002 (10.2623.2625) Windows
XP Home

Thank you.
 
Rich,

I would imagine it might be something to do with the color schemes?

Glenn,

I assume by color scheme that the slide master is what you mean. I did go
into slide master and set the font color to yellow for everything but no
luck. The font color is still black in the title and some of the other
content. It's sort of coming back to me now that the last time this happened
it was a very stubborn problem and I had to to rebuild the slides.

Thanks.

Nope, the slide master's the slide master. The color scheme is ... wait for it
... ba dum dum! The COLOR SCHEME. <g>

If using PowerPoint 2000 or earlier, choose Format, Slide Color Scheme and see
if there's any sort of "Eureka!" experience to be found there.

In 2002 or later, choose Format, Slide Design from the main menu then in the
Slide Design task pane on the right, click Color Schemes.

Either way, you're trying to find out whether the newly inserted slides use the
original color scheme or the one that the existing slides use. You want the
latter and need to apply it if not.

Thank you. I never was very good at following directions. (:->)

I did not find a scheme like mine, but at least I was able to get all the
fonts visible against a black background.
 
Thanks Echo. I'll have a look at that.
