Hello Melissa, You should try the user guide which you can buy at this address: http://www.lulu.com/content/881167 or download for free at this address: http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/impress/published/0500IG-ImpressGuide.odt To answer your question directly, In Normal view, select Format > Page. Go to the background tab and choose Color from the drop down list, then Black in the list of samples that appear. Decide if you want to apply the background to all the slides or only to the current one. The text should automatically be in white. Cheers, Michele
