Most of the time, text in PowerPoint is filled with either a black or a white solid fill, or any color that contrasts with the color of the slide background. This color info is contained within the Theme applied to the presentation. There may be times when you want to change this default text fill to some other particular color. Or, perhaps you applied a WordArt Style to your text and you are happy with everything else within that WordArt Style except the text fill. PowerPoint’s Text Fill option provides you with plenty of fill options for your text. Fill options include solid colors, gradients, textures, and also pictures.
