================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When Graph 5.0 objects are present in a presentation and you change the slide color scheme, the graph color scheme may not update to the new color scheme.

= RESOLUTIONS =

Use the appropriate method:

Method 1

 * 1) Click the Graph object.
 * 2) From the Tools menu, choose Recolor.
 * 3) In the Recolor Graph dialog box, choose Entire Color Scheme. Choose OK.

The Graph’s colors will change to match the existing slide color scheme.

Method 2
The problem may involve one of the program files for Microsoft Graph, or a related file from PowerPoint. If this is the case, PowerPoint, Graph 5.0, and their associated files must be removed and reinstalled.

  Run PowerPoint Setup.   When the options to Add/Remove, Re-Install, or Remove All appear, select Remove and follow the instructions to remove both PowerPoint and, under the Shared Applications, Graph 5.0.   In the Windows File Manager, locate the Windows Directory.   Hold down the CTRL key while clicking the following files: DEFAULT.GRA POWERPNT.INI GRAPH5.INI GRAPH5.XLB   When all of these files are highlighted, release the CTRL key, and press the DEL key on the keyboard to delete the files.   While still in File Manager, double-click the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory. </li>  Hold down the CTRL key while clicking the following files: OLE2.DLL OLE2.REG OLE2CONV.DLL OLE2DISP.DLL OLE2NLS.DLL OLE2PROX.DLL PUBOLE.DLL TYPELIB.DLL STDOLE.TLB STORAGE.DLL </li>  When all of these files are highlighted, release the CTRL key, and press the DEL key on the keyboard to delete the files. </li>  Exit File Manager. </li>  From the File menu in Program Manager, run PowerPoint Setup. NOTE: If PowerPoint is part of Microsoft Office, refer to the appropriate Setup disk for that package while performing the above Setup steps 1 and 10. </li>  When the options to Add/Remove, Re-Install, or Remove All appear, select Add/Remove, and follow the instructions to install both PowerPoint and, under the Shared Applications, Graph 5.0. </li></ol>
