    Hi guys

     

    Maybe your slides are set to transparent background?

     

    Try this:

    1. Open the Design tab in the ribbon menu.
    2. To the far right, click onto Format Background.
    3. When the side pane pops out, check to see if your Transparency is set to 100% or thereabouts. If it is, reduce it to 0 (see images attached for example).

    Comparison

    With transparency at 100%Transparency set to 0%I hope that helps solve the issue?

     

    Cheers

    Damien

I have searched everywhere for something on this and your thread is the only thing I've found. I have to switch to the white theme, edit my powerpoint then switch back. Super inconvenient. I hope there is a fix out there for this.
