Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for color on a monochrome computer.

Presentations that have been created in color can be shown on a monochrome monitor; however, each color except the background color will be shown in black. Therefore, if you want a color presentation to be viewed on a monochrome computer, here are a couple of hints:


 * 1) Always keep the object’s fill color the same as the background (which is always shown as white); otherwise, the whole object will appear as solid black.
 * 2) Use patterns, not colors, to distinguish information such as bar graphs.
