Color Selection Options are missing from PowerPoint

[Jan_@_xs]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC

All of a sudden, several of the color tools are missing from PowerPoint's Colors dialog box. I can't see any of the icons that should be at the top of the box. So, no color picker, no CYMK sliders, no Spectrum, and no Crayons.

I am permanently stuck with the color lists and I can choose from Apple, Developer, Aqua Pro, Crayons, and Web Safe Colors. (But this is inconvenient when I need CYMK.)

The strange thing is that it works find from Word. I tried restarting my machine.

I could have sworn that they were there not too long ago, but I probably can't verify that they were there since my last OS updates.

Any ideas?

In the title bar of the Colors window click the little "jellybean" to the
