The information in this article applies to:

  • == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c ==

SYMPTOMS

The Cue Cards in PowerPoint 4.0 appear with a black background and no text. Several small buttons are visible, plus one or more colored triangles. This problem occurs when you launch the Cue Cards for PowerPoint 4.0 from the AutoContent Wizard or from the Help menu.

CAUSE

The Button Face color in the Windows color scheme has been changed to black. The Cue Cards’ background color is always the same color as the face of a Windows button.

The Button Face color can be changed through the Control Panel’s Color option. When you are in the Color dialog box, you can either switch to one of the predesigned color schemes, or choose the Color Palette button and change the color of the Button Face to another color. The Button Face color can be chosen by selecting Button Face from the Screen Element menu and selecting the desired color. The light gray color is the typical color for the Button Face; however, you can choose whatever color you want.
