PUB2000: Object Border Hard to See When Dragging Object
This article was previously published under Q212535
When you drag a text box or object around your publication, the object's
outline is difficult to see against the white page.
This behavior occurs after you create a custom color scheme in Windows, or
a color scheme that uses a dark color for three-dimensional (3-D) objects.
Publisher obtains the color information from the registry and uses a
contrasting color for object borders.
For example, if you select blue for a three-dimensional object, you will see a yellow border. If you select black and you drag the object in Publisher, you will see a white border.
To improve the contrast of the outline border, use the Windows default
color scheme or select a lighter color for 3-D objects. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
- Double-click Display .
- Click the Appearance tab.
- From the Display list, click to select one of the Windows Standard options.
-or-
From the Item list, select 3D Objects, and then click to select a color from the Color list.
- Click Apply.
- Click OK.
