MACINTOSH

Summary:

On a Macintosh Plus or SE, the Microsoft PowerPoint Color Scheme, Recolor Picture, and Add Extra To Menu commands on the Color menu, and the Other command on the Fill, Line, Shadow, Pattern, Contrast, and Text submenus are not available.

This limitation is due to the ROM (read-only memory) that these computers have. The ROM in these two Macintoshes does not contain the Color QuickDraw routines necessary to generate color in a PowerPoint presentation. These two Macintoshes, therefore, do not have the capabilities listed above.

Color QuickDraw first became available on the Macintosh II and is available on the entire Macintosh II line as well as the SE/30.
