PPT97: Cannot Change Color of Embossed Text in PowerPoint 4.0 File
This article was previously published under Q189548
SYMPTOMS
When you open a PowerPoint for Windows version 4.0 presentation in
Microsoft PowerPoint 97, the color of text that has emboss character
formatting applied to it cannot be changed.
CAUSE
In PowerPoint 97, text to which you have applied embossed formatting
retains the true characteristics of embossing. That is, the text picks up
the color of the material to which the embossing has been applied. In
PowerPoint 97 this is the background color of the slide. This functionality
is different from PowerPoint 4.0.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, change the background color of your slide
by following these steps:
- Right-click outside of any object bounding box, and then click
Background on the menu that appears.
- In the Fill Color list, click the down arrow and select the color
you want.
- Click Apply to apply the color to the current slide. Or, click
Apply To All to apply the color to all the slides in the
presentation.
STATUS
Microsoft welcomes suggestions or comments about changes in functionality
and product design.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Standard Edition
