FAQ

Elements in your PowerPoint presentation may appear greyed out when using a designer template due to a few possibilities. It could be because of the layering of elements, transparency settings, or the use of master slides. Let’s discuss these in detail:

Layering of Elements

PowerPoint presentations often involve layering of different elements like images, text boxes, and shapes. If some elements are greyed out, it may be because they are overlaid by semi-transparent elements. You can solve this by adjusting the layering order. Simply right-click on the element and use the “Bring to Front” or “Send to Back” options.

Transparency Settings

The greying out can also be caused by the transparency settings of the elements themselves. If the transparency level of an element is high, it may appear greyed out, especially if it’s against a dark background. You can adjust the transparency by selecting the element and altering the transparency settings.

Master Slides

Lastly, it could be due to the settings in the master slide of your template. Master slides control the overall appearance of your presentation and if an element is set to be greyed out in the master slide, it will appear greyed out in all slides. To fix this, you’ll need to change the settings in the master slide.
