SYMPTOMS
If you add clips to Microsoft Clip Gallery, some of the colors in the clip may show up as gray in the thumbnail for that clip. This problem may occur if your Display properties are set for some color depth other than 256 colors.

For more information about changing the color depth of your display, search on the word colors, and then view the "Changing the number of colors your monitor displays" topic, using the Windows 95 Help Index.



RESOLUTION
This symptom only affects the thumbnail preview for the clip. When you insert the clip into a publication or document, that clip will appear with the correct colors.

If the gray makes the thumbnail unusable, delete it, change your color depth to 256 colors, and then add the clip to Clip Gallery again.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
