View slides in high contrast

Displaying slides in high contrast is supported by Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, or later.

  1. On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click the Accessibility Options icon.
  3. On the Display tab, select the Use High Contrast check box.
  4. Click OK.
  5. On the View menu in Microsoft PowerPoint, point to Color/Grayscale, and then click High Contrast.

Note   The high-contrast setting works for viewing slides and thumbnails in normal and slide sorter view. In slide show view, slides are displayed as you have designed them. High contrast is a screen-only setting; it does not affect the actual presentation, nor does it apply to the printed presentation.
