Handles on Multiple Selection Not Gray in EGA with Publisher (77591)
This article was previously published under Q77591
SUMMARY
On a computer equipped with a VGA or higher display system, the
"handles" on a selected object are black, but if multiple objects are
selected, the handles become gray. This is to indicate that resizing
is not an option. On a computer running an EGA system, the handles on
a multi-object selection will be black, the same as the handles on a
single-object selection.
Note: Even though the handles are black at EGA resolution, it is still
not possible to resize a multi-object selection.
MORE INFORMATION
This is a function of the Windows 3.0 EGA palette management. Using
the VGA driver, the particular color requested for multi-object
handles turns out to be gray. Using the EGA driver, the equivalent
color is black.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Publisher version 1.0.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here as
it becomes available.
