Printing slide handouts

[Timmer]

My backgrounds are black and my font color on most slides is white. I want
to print slides for handouts, but I want the background to be white and the
type black (otherwise it will use tons of black ink). If I change the
background color to white then none of the text will show up.


Is there an easy way to invert the colors when printing or do I have to go
and change the font color on each slide individually? Thank you.

Go to Format > Slide Design > Color Schemes.
Change the color scheme (Those with white background) to see if it helps.

If you print in black and white (File/Print, choose B-W), the slides should
automatically reverse out like you want.

How are you printing?

Alternatively, you can change the slide color scheme, as tohlz mentioned.
Change the white swatch to black and the black swatch to white. Everything
mapped to those swatches will change color as well. See

wanted to know about PPT and color schemes.
