SYMPTOMS
If you select a black or white color swatch in the Slide Color Scheme dialog box or the Colors And Lines dialog box and then go to the More Colors dialog box, moving the cross-hairs on the color palette will not change the Color or Solid squares. If you select any color swatch other than black or white, the Color and Solid squares change color to reflect the location of the cross-hairs on the color palette.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
To get to the More Colors dialog box, you must first go to the Other Colors dialog box. If, while you are there, you click any color besides black or white, the More Colors dialog box will behave normally when you get there.

<div class="status_section">

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint version 4.0 and 7.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
