Hi,

how can I find out which colour a line does have right now?

I have got a presentation and have to modify it. It uses a table and I
need to find out which colour the borders are, so I can use this
special colour in other tables.

Anyone can tell me how to find this out?

Just clicking on the tool only gives me the actual set colour and not
the one the line was drawn.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Try selecting the object and do a right click and click on Format Shape.
A pop-up will appear. Check for the line color.

Thanks Abhishek,

but that only works for normal objects. if i am in a table and have
only selected a few cells the Right-Click-PopUp has the line-Options
greyed out. So that is not working. And in a table each line
(top,bottom,left,right) could be in different colour. The line itself
can not be selected.

Any other clue?

Thanks in advance
 
First,click the 'view' menu and choose 'toolbar',then choose 'table and
border',now the 'table and border' toolbar will be pop-up,then you can use
this toolbar and select the line with the tool in the toolbar to change the
color you wanted.
May it be helpful to you.
 
Google for Instant Eyedropper. It's free and will read the RGB values off the
screen. I'm not sure if there's a way in 2007 to read the line color in the
GUI but you can with vba. (.Cell(x,y).Borders(1).Forecolor.RGB)

Thanks for the tips. It really looks like what worked in 2003 doesn't
work in 2007. Hurrray to the evolution in software developement!!

Ok, thanks! I will try the tool you mentioned and maybe even develop
something in VBA. Depending on the time I have.
