Use white backgrounds

Conventional PowerPoint wisdom says you should use a dark background with light text. But that old rule is being turned on its head as many presentations now use white backgrounds, just like most Web sites. Today's brighter projectors allow you to present in a lighted room, where lighter PowerPoint backgrounds don't seem so bright. The white background gives a crisp, professional appearance, and you can spruce it up with edging, a slight texture or graphics.
