Tip: Correcting Presentation Color Problems

2008-05-08T10:02:00.002-04:00

Ran into a funky scenario yesterday...A colleague of mine was creating a Presenter course but she ended up with a nasty situation when publishing a PowerPoint deck using the Presenter plugin.The problem was the way in which colors were appearing in the final published presentation...or to be more specific...the color blue that was being used didn't show up at all. Instead, every instance of the
