I have a user that created a few excel documents on their machine, and is
embedding them in a power point. The cell fill color palette available to
him in one set of cells in this power point are not available to him in
another set.

I opened excel on his machine, checked the color palette and the color he
wants is there, then I copied the cells from powerpoint into that new excel
document and the fill color palette available then was completely different,
the color he wanted that was JUST there is no longer there/available - what
the heck is going on?

Thanks!

Scott

He modified his colors from the default.
If you go to Tools/Options on the color tab you copy
colors from any other open workbook. THere is also amodify
button for whichever color on the palette is highlighted.
Good luck with powerpoint, probably similar options.

I'm not following exactly what's happening where in your scenario, but I
suspect that the the issue has to do with the color scheme of the slide in
question perhaps coupled with the specific swatches the user chose in Excel.

of what's happening, though.
