In presenter view, my speaker notes are grey text on a slightly lighter grey background. I can barely see them! That cannot possibly be Microsoft's default. How can I change either the foreground or background color of the speaker notes in presenter view? On the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Normal. In the pane that contains the Outline and Slides tabs, click the Outline tab. Right-click the Outline pane, and then click Show Text Formatting on the shortcut menu. You will then be able to see the changes that you made in the Notes pane on a given slide. Highlight one piece of text Select the text that you want to highlight.

Although PowerPoint does include options to use pictures, SmartArt, charts, sounds, and even video clips, we yet have to see a presentation thathad no text at all. Nothing conveys a message better than text, and even pictures do need captions in the form of text. In PowerPoint, severalslide objects can include text. These include text placeholders,text boxes,shapes, tables,SmartArt, charts, etc. In this tutorial though, weare only exploring selecting and editing text within text placeholders, text boxes, and shapes.

Selecting the Text

PowerPoint provides plenty of ways in which you can edit text, but selection is important since you first need to select any text you want toedit. Note that selecting text is different from selecting the containers that include text:

• If you click the edge of the placeholder, text box, or shape. You select the entire placeholder, text box, or shape, as shown inFigure 1, not just the text it contains. Note that the selected placeholder, text box, or shape is surrounded by a solid linewith selection handles.
• 
  Figure 1: Entire Placeholder is selected
• If you click within the placeholder, text box, or shape that contains text, and then select the text as per the guidelines in the nextparagraph, the text gets highlighted as shown in Figure 2. This means you selected that text. Note that the placeholder, text box,or shape which contains selected text is surrounded by a dashed line with selection handles.

Here are some guidelines for selecting text in PowerPoint 2013:

• Click anywhere in the text, you end up creating a text insertion cursor, any text you type now will show up after the text insertioncursor. This does not select any text. To select text now:
• Highlight text before or after the text insertion cursor by dragging in the direction you want. This selects the text (refer toFigure 2 above).
• Press Ctrl+A to select all the text.
• Double-click anywhere in the text, you end up selecting the entire word within which you double-clicked.
• Triple-click anywhere in the text, you end up selecting the entire sentence, or bulleted list level within which you triple clicked.

Changing Text

Now, after you have learned how to select the text, follow these basic techniques of changing text on the slide:

1. Open any presentation which has a slide with some text content, as shown in Figure 3.
2.

2. Click inside the text placeholder (or a text box, oreven a shape) to select the text you want to edit. We explained selection techniques for text earlier on this page.
3. Now, just type the new text to replace the selected text.
4. Make sure to save your presentation often.

Can you do that? Sure you can!We'll show you how to do that in our ApplyingTheme Colors and Theme Fonts in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac tutorial.
