ID: Q196815

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you copy a slide containing a Microsoft Graph object from one presentation to another, the text and color formatting of the Microsoft Graph object may change.


CAUSE

To provide a consistent look to the slides in a presentation, PowerPoint adjusts the formatting of Microsoft Graph objects based on the color scheme and the typeface formatting of the Title Area for AutoLayouts on the Slide Master.


RESOLUTION

You have a Microsoft Graph object not update its formatting. To do this follow these steps before copying the slide:

  1. Select the Microsoft Graph object.


  2. Right-click on the Graph, and click Show Picture Toolbar.


  3. Click the Recolor Chart tool.


  4. Click None in the Recolor Chart dialog, and click OK.


When you copy the slide containing this Microsoft Graph object into another presentation, it will not take on the formatting from the destination presentation.
