==== Adding colour to your presentations ====
 
We have also inserted a text box (<u>Insert → Shape → Basic → Rectangle</u>) at the bottom of the slide and typed the text ‘Can you suggest more possible objectives of DST?’. The background colour in this box is blue, to change the colour, select <u>Format → Style → Edit Style → Area</u>. Select the colour you want (white is a good background). Similarly, if you do not want a border for the text box, you can remove it. Select <u>Format → Style → Edit Style → Line → Style → None</u>.
