In Powerpoint, I had created a custom color title slide for a new template,
and it included blue gradations and my company logo. On the interior pages of
this template, I went with a Powerpoint-default blue color background, but
included a reverse color footer of the company name.

I have found that, if I need to print handouts of this template in black &
white, the default interior color prints out as it should (with the blue
background printing as white and text printing black), but the custom color
title slide and the footers I created continue to print out as unacceptable
blacks, dark grays, and white. One cannot see the text at all in the custom
slides.

My question is this: Are my title slide and footers not printing correctly
in black & white because they are not Powerpoint default designs? Isn't there
a way to "embed" customized designs with heavy background colors within
Powerpoint, so they print correctly like any other heavy background color
designs that "come with" Powerpoint? Help!
