Desktop Settings & Visio 2007

[Harold Cataquet]

OS: VISTA Ultimate
Machine: Dell Latitude D820

I changed the settings on my Desktop (colors for background, highlights,
etc), and then went into Visio. Images that I have previously save suddenly
looked completely different. For example, a design in red and white became
black and white. How can I reverse this? (Setting the desktop back to its
default values doesn't work as some of new images were created after I
changed the settings). More generally, how can I prevent this from happening
again in the future (ie, tell Visio to use an inbuilt palette)?

Bye for now

Harold

I corrected the problem by just changing the desktop to Windows Classic, and
then back to VISTA Basic. However, there must be a way to prevent it from
happening again

For example, a design in red and white became black and white.

To expand on this, the colors were stuck in B&W mode. So, if I changed the
text to red (the colors would show up properly in the menu), the highlighted
text would still stay black.

If I recall, there is a bug in Vista causing the problem.
