PPT97: Cannot Change Shadow Color of Organization Chart Object (188935)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q188935 SYMPTOMS
You cannot change the shadow color in Microsoft Organization Chart from
within the Organization Chart program.
CAUSE
Organization Chart 2.0 uses it's own shadow color of black, and does not
follow the PowerPoint slide color scheme. This shadow color cannot be
modified in Organization Chart 2.0, nor can it be modified by changing the
slide color scheme in PowerPoint.
WORKAROUND
To change the shadow color of the Organization Chart, you must ungroup the
Organization Chart object, select each shadow box object, and change the
color by clicking Colors And Lines on the Format menu.
NOTE: Once the Organization Chart has been ungrouped, it becomes a series
of PowerPoint shapes, and can no longer be modified or changed in
Organization Chart.
MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint automatically recolors the shadow to match the color scheme
of the current presentation. As long as PowerPoint is recoloring the
shadow of the Organization Chart object, the shadow will automatically
change if the presentation's color scheme is modified.
