Printing Powerpoint Slides !!!? (1 Viewer)

[Lazy Lankan]

u know with powerpoint slides?! I'm trying to print my lecture notes and I can't figure out how to print it out so that I don't have white text on a black background! I know I can change the background and then print it - but I'm pretty sure there is some way to print it such that I can read black text on white background - without changing the background. does anyone understand what im talking about? lol - any ideas?

err...dont think u can do that cause the code thats being sent to the printer is black on the background so u'll have to change the background and text colour...
if anyone else knows how to do it please feel free to add to my suggestion
hope it works

I have a semi-related question...ok, my lecturers seem to have some strange love of pretty multicoloured backgrounds and whatnot. Ok, so I know how to take the background off all the slides in one go...but is there any way to change the text colour of all the slides in one go, instead of doing individual textbox at a time?

You can try to select all the textboxes and doing them all at once by selecting one textbox, then hold shift and select another. Right click on one and change the colour.

if you use the arrow, and drag a selection, it does pick up all boxes

depends which working view you use. The one with the slide on the right and the slide content (titles and text) on the left (slide sorter) should allow you to highlight all the text (on the left hand screen) and then change the colour

*sorry about the non-technical jargon-cant remember what that particular screen view is called*
click the small icons at the bottom left of the screen to change the views..its the first one.
You should be able to do this as well in the screen where you have all the slides as thumbnails + it should be able to be done in the slide design/change fonts section as well

edit its called "normal view" (duh)

re printing..shouldnt printing in greyscale solve this issue?
