A few notes for using Powerpoint with computer presentations:

To eliminate the background graphics:

Choose "Format Menu/ Background"
Check the box that says "omit background graphics"
If you're using only graphics on the page, you may also want to choose the no text layout:
Choose "Format Menu/ Slide Layout"
Choose "blank" slide.

Using tables:

Black is the default text color for tables.
After editing the table, select all the cells and change the text color to white or another light color.
Or, change the background color to a light color.

Using chart/bullet combination slides:

In the slide show view, the chart will dim automatically once you start animating the text.
To keep the chart in full color: Select the chart, choose "Slide Show Menu/ Custom Animation/ Chart Effects/ Entry Animation and Sound".
Select "no effect".
