This seems like a simple question, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a story with many screens that have captions from characters. I want the font text in the captions to be black, but every time I paste text into the caption box it turns white (even after copying other captions with black text from other slides). I know this must be a simple setting somewhere like in the slide master, but I can't seem to locate it. Any ideas how to make that easy? Thanks,
Have you tried pasting with the "Keep Text Formatting" option? This is how it works:
After copying your text, click in the caption where you want to paste it.
Then, from the Home tab, click the paste drop-down arrow
Finally, click the Keep Source Formatting option.
Another option is to insert a caption with black text offstage (to the side of the slide). Then copy and paste it wherever you need a caption, and replace the initial text with the new text.
If that's not really what you were looking for, please shout out. Or, perhaps others have other suggestions.
Thanks Rebecca- I thought it had to be something simple like that. Not sure why the simple keyboard paste command does this, but that solved the issue.
