Slide background

How do you change colour on the background of all slides in presentation ?

RE: Slide background

Hi Bernard, thanks for your query. In Powerpoint 2007, click on the Design tab on the ribbon and then, on the right hand side, click on the "Background Styles" drop down. There is a "format background" option in that drop down which will allow you to change the solid fill colour of the slide, and if you then click on "Apply to all" button at the bottom right, it will recolour every slide.

That's the long way round, but you can quickly access that dialog box by right-clicking on your slide (outside of any of the placeholders) and then choosing Format Background.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

PowerPoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
