Depending on the content you could try format slide design > color schemes>
edit color scheme
Change the colors to black / greys (if your fills don't follow the original
color scheme you may need to manually alter them)
If you have photos- select then in picture toolbar use the color tool (looks
like a bar graph) to set greyscale

Did that answer the question / help?
