For the benefit of a co-worker with red-green colorblindness I wrote a short powerpoint add-in that finds red colors and turns them blue. It’s useful when somebody makes edits to a document in red text since he can’t differentiate the red from grey or black to distinguish the edits from the original text.

Given that 5-10% of males have some degree of color blindness I thought this might be worth sharing so that other can find it via Google.

Download the power point add-in

To use the add-in:

1. Make sure macro security is set to Medium or Low by going to Tools/Options/Security/Macro Security
2. Download the add-in below, then go to Tools/Add-ins and select the “Replace Reds” add-in you just downloaded
3. Apply the code by going to the Tools menu; at the bottom of the list you should now have a command to “Replace Reds”

You can uninstall the add-in via Tools/Add-ins. You can access the source code in this file.
