Hi Klaus, Thank you very much for your instant reply. You were exactly right and i had inadvertently used the pp4slide.sty file in my presentation and there the text color was by default white. Now everything works fine. I still have a doubt and i hope i dont sound stupid :-). As of now i'd been believing that the images that we insert into a LaTeX file are only structurally affetcted (meaning scaling, rotation etc) and not affected internally (meaning color changes, font size etc) by the pdf generator. I was surprised to see that the pdf generator could change the color of a text (i,e the axes, headings, xlabel,ylabel of a graph)inside the pdf image (according to the "text color" defined in the LaTeX file). To add to my surprise, i had a legend box inside the pdf image which also contained some text, but the color of these texts weren't altered by the pdf generator. I hope i'm clear with my question. I look forward to hearing from you.
Have a nice day.
