Text(5th+errata):Change the text of target spell or permanent by replacing all instances of one color word with another. (For example, you may change "target black spell" to "target blue spell.") (This effect doesn't end at end of turn.) [Oracle 2000/02/01]
If played on a spell being cast, and that spell becomes a permanent, the permanent enters play with an effect on it. It does not change the base characteristics of the permanent. This is just like having the permanent enter play, and then playing this spell except it is never in play with its original text. [bethmo 1998/05/22]
Can target a card with no color words on it. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
Cannot change a color word to the same color word. It must be a different word. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 23]
You cannot Sleight proper nouns (i.e. card names). This means that you cannot affect Black Vise. [WotC Rules Team 1995/04/26]
You cannot Sleight explanatory references to a card's own color. This applies to Dark Heart of the Wood, Scarwood Goblins, and Marsh Goblins. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
This spell can be used to change the "flavor text" (the italicized text) on the card. This has no game effect but uses up the spell. [bethmo 1994/04/01]
