can't make color scheme work

I tried applying it on a word table I pasted in Publisher 7; when that didn't
work, I tried using a blank custom-sized business card--still didn't work!

There is a tutorial here that shows you how to use Color Schemes.
http://cbt.brainstorminc.com/microso...ile=publisher4

When you open the fill menu the top row of colors represents the color scheme
being used in the present Publisher publication. The tutorial will show you how
to change any one of the scheme colors.

Thanks for your reply.

However, I had already seen this tutorial to troubleshoot before posting.
Indeed, in the video everything works as expected, but in the document that I
was working--even a brand new one-- I couldn't get to square one.

I welcome further suggestions.

I don't use Color Schemes much. I do know if you use a default scheme color in
an object, the objects color will change when a different scheme is selected.
Some objects will not have a scheme attached.
Select a scheme, select the cells of your table, fill with a color in the
scheme. The cells will change when you change the scheme.

Dear Mary,
It's nice of you to keep trying. Yet, what you suggest just didn't work.
Neither in or out of the table. I have also since tried with a picture and a
text box, thinking that one of them is bound top qualify as an 'object'. I'm
beginning to suspect there's some computer bug playing with my
application--there's something with my Internet Explorer 7 that has changed
suddenly. Also, though I have clicked in 2 places the feature to receive an
email when a repsonse is posted here, no notification is sent.

Wearily,

There is a troubleshooting article here, it pretty much says what I tried to
post. It is for 2003 but it is the same for 2007

Thanks for pointing me to the article. There was something there which I
evidently missed when I read it first, after too many hours at the keyboard.

It may be useful to clarify for others who run into this thread:
Color schemes works in conjunction with the fill color feature on the
picture toolbar. One must first select a color among the 8 that appear there
after clicking on the arrow next to "fill." Then when one clicks on the color
scheme task pane, you'll see how the color changes to the corresponding one
in the row there.
