PPT2000: PowerPoint Overrides Default Graph Color Scheme (198209)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
This article was previously published under Q198209 SYMPTOMS
PowerPoint overrides the custom color information saved with the
Microsoft Graph default graph. When you insert a new graph, PowerPoint
uses the colors in the Slide Color Scheme, not the colors saved in the
default graph file.
CAUSE
PowerPoint sends the colors in the Slide Color Scheme to Microsoft Graph.
This changes the first six colors on Graph's palette. This behavior is to
ensure that the graph uses colors that go well with the rest of the
presentation.
PowerPoint uses most of the rest of the settings stored in the default
graph file.
WORKAROUND
If you want to create a graph that uses colors other than the Slide Color
Scheme colors, follow these steps:
- Create a new graph. Choose the colors you want in the graph. Close
Graph by clicking "Exit and return to <presentation name>" on the File
menu.
- Click once on the graph object to select it.
- On the Format menu, click Object, and then click the Picture Tab.
- Click Recolor.
- In the Recolor Chart dialog box, click "Only Text And Background
Colors." Click OK.
