apply new design template to affect textboxes as well

[jeffrey c]

i need to switch my whole presentation from white text on
a dark background to black text on a light background.

The only thing i know to do is use "apply design template"
and everything changes except textboxes i used for diagram
labels.

Is there a way to change the font color of all textboxes
in a presentation simultaneously? or better still, to
change the font colot of textboxes when i apply a new
template design?

Jeffrey,

if your presentation uses the "color scheme" then you can quite easily swap black & white

thank you for your response. i thought about using color
schemes, but as far as i can tell, there is no option that
applies to "textbox". I tried using the "lines and text"
option in color schemes, but found it changed all the auto
shapes i use for diagrams (not what i want to happen).
Any other ideas?

Yeah, it has to do with which color swatch you used to color the various objects in your presentation.

Having a read through those links TAJ posted will at least help you understand what's happening.

Which version of PPT are you using? If 2002/2003, setting up multiple masters -- each with an appropriate color scheme to take into account how you colored your file in the first place -- may be a doable workaround.
