PRJ41: Icon in Change Icon Dialog Not Used for New Object (136528)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project for Windows 95 4.1
This article was previously published under Q136528 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, when you insert an object, and you choose to display
the object as an icon, if you select a different icon for the object, the
new icon is not displayed. Instead, the default icon is displayed for the
object.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you change the icon you want displayed for an
object while you are inserting the object. The Insert Object dialog box allows you to change the icon for the object that you are inserting. The icon that you select appears to be chosen; however, when you insert the
object in your project, the default icon is displayed instead of the new
icon that you selected.
RESOLUTION
To change the icon used to display an object in your project, do the
following:
- Click the object in your project that you want to have displayed with
a different icon.
- On the Edit menu, click <object type> Object
(where <object type> is the type of object that is in your
project, such as WordPad) and then click Convert.
- In the Convert dialog box, click Change Icon.
- In the list of icons, click the icon that you want the object to be
displayed with or use the Browse button to select an icon that
is not available in the list, and then click OK.
- In the Convert dialog box, click OK.
The object is now displayed using the new icon that you selected.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.
