WD98: Subscription Does Not Update Color Change In Drawn Shape (177755)

SYMPTOMS

When you make changes to a published drawing object, the published edition or any subscriptions to that edition may not be updated.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when both of the following conditions are true:

A drawing object (object created using the Drawing toolbar) is anchored to a paragraph.

-and-
The paragraph the object is anchored to is published.

Changes such as fill color and line color do not cause the drawing object in a published edition to be updated.

This problem occurs even if you select the published paragraph, click Publishing on the Edit menu, point to Published Object, and click Send Edition Now in the publisher options dialog box.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, make a change to the paragraph that the drawn object is anchored to and save the document containing the publisher. The subscriptions will be updated during the save if the document they are in is open, or, they will be updated the next time the document containing them is opened.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
