It seems like a classic example of staying in your comfort zone instead of trying to learn something new. Yes, it may take a few minutes to figure it out but the time saving in the long run is well worth it. </p> <p>I was excited to provide the perfect answer to a question. It's a feature I use frequently and while it can be frustrating when you have the wrong color model, its well worth it. </p> <p>I'm pleased others can make use of it.</p> <p>Patty</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 13 May 2006 by PDI</p> <hr /><a name="a3823_16"></a><p><b>From: joyce (JLADY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3823.16">#16</a>]<br /> 14 May 2006<br /><b>To: gt350ed</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3823.14">#14</a>] 14 May 2006</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">Actually, I'm more concerned about the attitude of Joyce's "employee", but I guess that's for another thread. </div><br /> <br /> She has been doing this since the 70's so she knows everything.

Some had never touched a computer before, some stubborn, cranky, set-in-their-ways, frightened or just plain clueless, I found several ways to get past that hurdle.</p> <p>You know that old saying about leading a horse to water... Don't force her to learn at that moment. You have done the first step in bringing the new idea to her attention. She now knows such a thing may exist, even if it "doesn't work." Later today, tomorrow, next week, when there is no pressure to learn a new concept, you can try showing her your new trick in a completely positive manner. (Hey Mary! Look at the cool new trick I learned! I'm so excited I figured it out I HAVE to share it with someone!) (Just make sure you fully understand how it works before showing her.) </p> <p>You'll have decide for yourself upon how receptive her mood is at the time on whether you show the nifty new trick at your computer or at hers. Some people just don't like to relinquish control of their computer.</p> <p>Some people, I found it's best just to do it on my computer and let them watch this great new timesaver in action without making a big deal about it. You just make sure they are present when you announce to yourself "Oh darn! I forgot to change the colors. Hang on a second and I'll change them real quick..."</p> <p>Good luck!</p> <p>Michel</p><hr /><a name="a3823_18"></a><p><b>From: Liberty</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3823.18">#18</a>]<br /> 17 May 2006<br /><b>To: joyce (JLADY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3823.1">#1</a>] 17 May 2006</p> <p>In V12 use the "Color Styles" docker. It is remarkably easy.</p> <p>Click Windows:Dockers:Color Styles.</p> <p>You'll have the color styles docker on the right side of the window.</p> <p>Open the graphic.</p> <p>The color Styles will show all colors currently in the graphic.</p> <p>Then just drag and drop the new color you want from the color pallette onto the color you need to change in the Styles Docker. It will change every occurence of the color, both fill and outlines.</p> <p>It is very fast. We have Smart Designs with the Color Swap macro and find using the Styles docker is much faster, especially if you want to change multiple colors.</p> <p>And through the magic of "Undo' you can't hurt a thing...</p><hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3823.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3823.1">1-13</a>  14-18</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
