PPT97: Custom Schemes Not Retained After Template Applied (171683)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q171683 SYMPTOMS
Any custom color applied to the slide color scheme is lost when you apply
a template, even if you click "Add As Standard Scheme" on the Custom tab
in the Color Scheme dialog box (click Slide Color Scheme on the Format
menu).
CAUSE
Design templates contain color schemes. When you apply a design template
to your presentation, the slide master and color scheme of the new
template replace the slide master and color scheme of the slide master and
color scheme of the original presentation.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the color scheme after you apply the
template.
MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint is designed to give your slide presentation a consistent
appearance. Color schemes help to control the look of your slides.
Color schemes are sets of eight balanced colors designed for use as the
main colors of a slide presentation. Each color in the scheme is used
automatically for a different element on a slide, such as text,
background, fill, accents, and so on. You can pick a color scheme for an
individual slide or an entire presentation. When you apply a design
template to a presentation, you can choose from a set of predefined color
schemes designed to coordinate with each design template. This makes it
easy to change color schemes for a slide or an entire presentation knowing
that the new color scheme will harmonize with the rest of the slides in
your presentation.
