How To Make Text Visible While Editing A Powerpoint Slide Having Dark Backgrounds
The following instructions are for PowerPoint 2002 and 2003.
QUESTION: Dear MasterViews,
I have several difficulties in reading the content of PowerPoint presentations containing slides with a black or very dark background color everytime I want to edit some text. The text to be edited seems to "disappear" when I click on its textbox to select it.
Can you please help?
Thanks,
Dominique
ANSWER: Dear Dominique,
First of all thank you for your kind message.
The solution to your problem is:
When you have a PowerPoint presentation with a black background and you cannot see the text while editing, just click on the Color/Grayscale button 
available in the main toolbar (it is located left of the zoom box) and select the last option "Pure Black and White". Text will be now clearly visible even when you edit slides with a black or very dark backgrounds.
