[mso] Re: PowerPoint: Suggested Colors?

I doubt anyone is going to be able to answer this for you, Robert.  Best
idea is to stick with high contrast colors and get your butt there early
enough so you can make any necessary adjustments BEFORE you present the
show.

Too many variables to predict...the quality of the projector....how dark you
can make the room...etc.

Subject: [mso] PowerPoint: Suggested Colors?

Reading the information on suggested colors for PowerPoint text is 
mystifying sometimes.

I am working on a presentation, one that I will not get to see the 
presenting apparatus beforehand. I don't know if it is a projection device, 
a massive
  television screen, or what yet. I was led to believe it would be a 
lap-top with a projector, and later told we would make use of a big screen.

Can anyone suggest or recommend colors that work well on these devices? 
Seeing light red text on dark blue background on my monitor is easy to 
read, but I am not sure that automatically means the audience can see it.

I would appreciate some guidelines. Should I bother to make two versions of 
this with different colors (I hope not!) so that I will be prepared for 
whichever device I end up using? Is that the best way to go?

Thank you.

Robert
