PUB2: Three-Dimensional Look Disabled on Monochrome VGA

PUB2: Three-Dimensional Look Disabled on Monochrome VGA

Q110517


-------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The three-dimensional appearance is not available in Publisher when you use
a monochrome VGA display.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Because of the inherent limitations of monochrome VGA displays, the three-
dimensional dialog boxes display poorly on LEDs and typical laptop screens.
To allow a clearer display of dialog boxes, the three-dimensional control
file (CTL3D.DLL) automatically disables the three-dimensional effects
normally used on Publisher dialog boxes. This is controlled by the three-
dimensional display .DLL file and cannot be enabled or disabled from within
Publisher.
