I have changed my default fonts from white to black within existing slides in
my PowerPoint presentation, however when I create "new slides" my default
font is white. Can someone help me to understand how to set my default font
for any new slides I create to black or automatic. I'm using PowerPoint 2000.
Thanks! |

How did you change the default font? Are you talking about placeholders
(where it says "click to add text") or ad hoc "manual" textboxes (the one
you click on the drawing toolbar to add)?

Hello,
Thanks. Great question. I'm talking about the text within the
place-holders, where it says "click to add text", specifically in the title
area of my slides.
I type in black font, and it appears black when I'm in the color mode,
however, when printing or when in the black and white mode the text does not
appear and is viewed as white and invisible on my white background. I have
to manually change the text from white to black when I create each new slide.
I do this by changing the presentation view to black and white and then
right click on the text within the title area and change the text from
"white" to automatic or "black". My issue only occurs when using the "new
slide" button on my toolbar. If I copy and paste an existing slide and write
over it I don't have same issue. I feel like I should be able to click on
"default for new objects" button within the font tool, however, that does not
work.
Any light you can shed would be terrific.

Thanks for the details, they're very helpful.
Go to View | Master | Slide Master and change your black and white settings
on the placeholders there. (View | Black and White, etc.)
