MacPPT: Shape Does Not Retain Textured Fill If Saved in 4.0 Format (181151)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Macintosh
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q181151 SYMPTOMS
When you save a Microsoft PowerPoint 98 or 2001 file that contains
objects that have texture fills in PowerPoint 4.0 format, the objects lose the
fills and default to their original fill format. For placeholders, such as the
title text box, the default fill will be set to none.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design.
WORKAROUND
You can work around this behavior by changing the placeholder fill color on the
master slide to a solid, pattern, or one-color gradient fill. To do this, follow
these steps:
- Select the placeholder object that you want to fill.
- On the Format menu, click AutoShape.
- In the Format AutoShape dialog box, click the Colors and Lines tab.
- Click the Fill Color list, and select the color that you want.
- Click OK.
