WINDOWS

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

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

= SYMPTOMS =

If you insert a table into PowerPoint from Word 6.0 for Windows, underlined text may appear in gray or not at all, and table borders and lines may appear in gray instead of black.

= RESOLUTION =

PowerPoint automatically recolors Word tables to make them match PowerPoint’s color scheme. Word table borders follow one of the accent colors, so you can change the slide color scheme to change them back to black.


 * 1) In PowerPoint, choose Color Scheme from the Slide menu.
 * 2) In the color scheme, double-click the lower right of the eight-color swatches.
 * 3) In the Accent Colors dialog box, choose black.
 * 4) Choose OK, then either Apply or Apply to All.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The table borders and underlining are dependent on the video driver. You may lose the borders and underlines completely, or they may revert to gray instead of black.
