SYMPTOMS
You cannot change the shadow color in Microsoft Organization Chart from within the Organization Chart program.



CAUSE
Organization Chart 2.0 uses it's own shadow color of black, and does not follow the PowerPoint slide color scheme. This shadow color cannot be modified in Organization Chart 2.0, nor can it be modified by changing the slide color scheme in PowerPoint.



WORKAROUND
To change the shadow color of the Organization Chart, you must ungroup the Organization Chart object, select each shadow box object, and change the color by clicking Colors And Lines on the Format menu.

NOTE: Once the Organization Chart has been ungrouped, it becomes a series of PowerPoint shapes, and can no longer be modified or changed in Organization Chart.



MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint automatically recolors the shadow to match the color scheme of the current presentation. As long as PowerPoint is recoloring the shadow of the Organization Chart object, the shadow will automatically change if the presentation's color scheme is modified.
