Help Changing to Black and White

[ppointHelp]

I have a presentation with a black background and text (and some other
objects like arrows) with various colors. I want the background to be white
and the text black. How should I go about doing that?

I tried changing the theme but some boxes remain unchanged (i don't know
why), and I have to manually change them.

I tried selecting all the text from the 'slides' tab in the left pane but
some of the text doesn't even show there.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

All of the background should be able to be changed in the Master Slide setup.
The Master Slide changes would populate across all of your pages.

I got the background to change to white. It's the text that is the problem.
The text boxes do not change color unless you do them individually.

If you modified the Slide Master and the slides are no longer following the
master then you'll need to reset each slide. For PowerPoint 2007 use the
Rest command on the Home tab. For previous versions, right-click the layout
in the Layout Pane and then click "Reapply Layout". If you have a large
presentation then there's a macro floating around somewhere you can use to
reset the entire presentation. If you Google PowerPoint macro reset
presentation you should be able to find it. If you can't, post back and I
should be able to dig it up.
