SUMMARY

Inverting colors in PowerPoint slides can significantly reduce ink usage when printing, especially for slides with dark backgrounds and colorful text. While modifying the theme allows for changing the global background color, it does not address individual colored objects. A practical solution involves using the "Format Background" feature to set a white background and adjusting text and object colors manually. For a more automated approach, third-party tools or scripts may be necessary to invert colors across all slides efficiently.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 or later
  • Understanding of the "Format Background" feature
  • Basic knowledge of color theory for effective color adjustments

My girlfriend wants to print her college lecture slides that she has in .ppt format. The backgrounds of the slides are black, so this will take a lot of ink. I can change the global background color easily by modifying the theme, but there are yellow drawing objects and text that is all over several slides. It would be MUCH easier to handle if I had a way to simply invert all of the colors globally. Any ideas?
