Grayscale Toggle Button

Does NOT affect SlideShow, which is always in color.
Does NOT affect the colors of objects themselves, only how they are displayed in the above views. Color objects will keep their colors even though they are displayed and/or printed in grayscale
An object such as a picture or clip art must first be selected to activate this button
In Windows versions of PowerPoint, when you click the Grayscale Toggle button PowerPoint will activate its own grayscale toolbar that has the same GrayScale Object Controls button as the GrayScaleTool. However, PowerPoint's built-in toolbar is not persistent (it goes away when you don't have an object selected) and it lacks the print buttons that GrayScaleTool has.

In Macintosh versions of PowerPoint, when you click the Grayscale Toggle button PowerPoint will activate a color slide miniature live preview window. This window is not available in Windows versions of PowerPoint.

Grayscale Object Controls Button

The GrayScale Object controls submenu lets you change the display and grayscale print properties of the selected object
Use these settings to correct the properties of objects that display and print correctly in color but do not look right when viewed or printed in grayscale.
Use these settings to create special effects that print in grayscale.
These controls do not affect how an object is displayed in running slide shows. Color objects will always display in color in slideshows.
