[Groff] Colors, PowerPoint and PDFs

My what talent and experience!  Some real veterans hanging around
here.

All the tossing of ideas has opened some new ideas for me.

I'd like to create the equivalent of a PowerPoint presentation
using PDF or other reasonable display.  It would be nice to
be able to use the entire screen instead of a window, like
PowerPoint does.  It has to run on Windows 98 and newer machines.
[I have trouble justifying the cost of Microsoft Office to get
a PowerPoint composer.]

Also, I'd like to control the background color on the entire
page.  I haven't found a way to do that with groff yet.  I can
get colored print and fill on drawn spaces using \D... sequences.

Does groff allow background color control with colored type
on top (such as yellow print on a blue background?

Suggestions anyone?

Thanks,

Clarke
