Print-friendly way to emphasize part of body text?

[New Daddy]

In my slides, I use a different color to emphasize important part of the body text (e.g., red as opposed to black for regular body text). I think it's a good way to draw the attention of the audience to the key concepts in the slide.

Unfortunately, they are not differentiated on print unless a color-printer is used, as all different colors are rendered in black in print if you are using a laser printer, regardless of whether you pick "color", "gray scale", or "black & white" in the PowerPoint print option.

Is there any good way to emphasize part of the body text that will be easily visible not only screen but also on print?

Try italics

Or bold...

Or underline...

You could use a combination of red font and B,I or U. That way screen and print emphasis is immediately apparent.

Or you could use a larger font size, or a different font face
