Leading the way in Microsoft Office Development

The colour scheme for a particular slide will determine the colours used when you add objects to particular slides.

If the "fill" colour in the colour scheme is green, then the default fill colour for any object placed on the slide will also be green.

If you use these colours on your objects and shapes then changing the colour scheme will automatically change the colours.

These colours can be easily changed.

Borders and Fill

It is possible to enhance an object or picture by placing a border around it.

You can easily distinguish your custom colours from the colours used in the colour scheme because the colour scheme colours are always the 8 colours on the top row.

Your custom colours will always appear on the bottom row.

Things to Remember

You can quickly copy the format from one object to another by using the Format Painter command on the standard toolbar. This can be used to copy fill colours, shading, texture, etc

To copy a format to several objects, double click the format painter and select each object in turn. Press Escape when you have finished.
