Notice how a box pops up when you highlight the words.

You can highlight the words to change their color.

This is a drop down menu of colors.

You can select any of the colors in the list.

When you click OK you will see the slide with the changes.

This works well for changing single words or lines on a single slide. To change a whole slide or the whole slide show, go to FORMAT and do SLIDE COLOR SCHEME

This will bring up the slide color scheme window.

There are two versions.

The first will allow you to select from pre established schemes.

Look at the options

Simply click on the scheme you would like to use.

Click on APPLY to make changes to the current slide.

APPLY TO ALL will change all the slides to the new scheme.

Now look at the custom menu.

Notice that on the right side there is a sample of what the colors will look like.

Click on one of the elements (like TEXT AND SHADOWS).

Then click CHANGE COLOR.

You will see the following window.

Click on the color you want to use.

Notice on the lower right corner is a comparison area.
