WINDOWS

The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Bob version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you change the style of the Public Family Room in Bob, applications such as Bob GeoSafari, Bob Checkbook, and Bob Financial Guide do not change their look or their position.

CAUSE

Only objects that are included in the predefined template of a room, such as doors and desks, change style and position when the style of the room is changed.

Bob applications are added to rooms, but they are not included in the room’s predefined templates. Decorations or programs added later, such as Bob Great Greetings, will not change their positions or looks, either.

RESOLUTION

Change the look and location of objects individually.

Changing the Location of the Object

  1. Position your mouse hand pointer on the object.
  2. Click and hold down your mouse button.
  3. Drag the object to the preferred location.

Changing the Look of an Object

  1. Click the right (secondary) mouse button on the object.
  2. Choose the Change Look squishy.
  3. In the Change Look dialog box, select a Style; select a Look.
  4. Choose the button with the green check mark.

NOTE: Some objects, such as GeoSafari, have only one look available.
