I am working on a PP presentation. I've used PP a lot, and I've often seen others' slides with one that has a title section at the top, followed by two columns or squares side by side to add content to. When I click "New Slide," it shows the slides I normally use in the color scheme I've chosen, but everything besides the title page slide and the basic title at top and large area below are black and white. Why aren't all the slides in the same color scheme I already have? I don't use any of the pallets on the design tab. I always want my slides for any presentation to have a dark blue backgroud, which I can do, and bright yellow text, which I seem unable to get except selecting text on every slide. Thanks.

I'm guessing you have set the color on the Title LAYOUT and CONTENT LAYOUT. In Master View scroll UP to the large master and set it there.
