PUB: Recoloring Lost While Editing OLE Objects (137325)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0

This article was previously published under Q137325

SYMPTOMS

If you recolor an OLE object in a Publisher publication, and then edit the object, the object reverts to its original colors while you are editing it. When you finish editing the object, the recoloring will again take effect.

CAUSE

Publisher recolors a picture or object by converting it to a grayscale image and then mapping that grayscale image as shades of the new color you choose. This technique does not modify the original color information in the picture or OLE object; it just filters while it is in Publisher.

As soon as you give another program (an OLE source application) control of the object, the original color information returns until control of the object is given back to Publisher.
