WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. Because the Publish Log is an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) file, you can open it in FrontPage, save it to a web, and then modify the colors.

NOTE: Any changes you make to the Publish Log are for this copy of the file only. When you next publish a web, a new Publish Log file will be created and the colors will be reset to their default settings.

To modify the colors in the Publish Log, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open a Web and publish it.
 * 2) When the Web site published successfully dialog box appears, click the Click here to view your publish log file link.
 * 3) When the Publish Log opens in Internet Explorer, click the Edit with Microsoft FrontPage button on the Standard Buttons toolbar.
 * 4) When the Publish Log opens in FrontPage, click Save As on the File menu, and save the page to a FrontPage Web.
 * 5) To modify the colors, follow these steps:

 On the Format menu, click Style. Select the Style you want to modify. For example, select the tr.confirm style for Confirmations or the tr.rename style for File Renames. Click Modify. Click Format and then click Border on the menu that appears. Click the Shading tab. In the Fill section, from the Background color and Foreground color lists, select the colors you want.</li> Click OK three times.</li></ol>
