 Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0c == Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0 and 6.0a == 

= SUMMARY =

The information about the mapping of Word table colors is not found in the PowerPoint versions 4.0 or 4.0a for Windows Readme Help files. The file was updated in version 4.0c to include this information. The information applies to all versions of PowerPoint 4.0.

However, the information in the PowerPoint 4.0c Help topic is incorrect.

= README HELP (CORRECTED) =

How colors are mapped from Word 6.0 tables to PowerPoint’s color schemes.

Text colors in the table object are mapped to the Text & Lines color position shown in the Slide Color Scheme dialog box. Table Fills and Borders are mapped based on the following table:

Word 6.0 Table Color PowerPoint Color Scheme Position ——————– ——————————–

Black Accent (middle) White Background Red Accent (top) Dark Red Accent (top) Green Accent (bottom) Dark Green Accent (bottom) Blue Fills Dark Blue Fills Yellow Fills Dark Yellow Fills Magenta Fills Dark Magenta Fills Cyan Fills Dark Cyan Fills Gray Accent (middle) Dark Gray Shadow
