Recolor PPT 2007 clipart
PPT 2000 lets me recolor individual elements of a .WMF clip. E.g., I can change the bird's plumage elements from white to yellow. PPT 2007 only lets me recolor the entire clip (Recolor button), e.g. from full color to pastel purple.
Yet the PPT 2007 Help tells me I can recolor any part of the clip, using Picture Toolbar > Format > Adjust > Recolor Clip. There IS NO Recolor Clip button, only the Recolor button (Picture Toolbar > Format > Adjust > Recolor). Is the Help wrong? Can I only change the overall color of the clip in PPT 2007? If so, I will recolor its individual elements in PPT 2000, and copy and paste it to PPT 2007. Many thanks.

Can you add this button by doing this:
Office Oval > PowerPoint Option in lower right corner > Customize > Select All Commands > Scroll down to see if you see what you want > If so, Select > Add in

zyzzyva57: Thanks for your help!
Here's how to safely recolor any part(s) of any .WMF clip in PPT 2007:
You triggered something in me that led me to the way to do it. Thanks! Technique: 1. Break any .WMF (gotta be .WMF) clip into a Microsoft Drawing Object by selecting the clip, clicking on Recolor, and answering Yes to break it into a MSFT Office drawing object. 2. Do not ungroup the objects or you’ll create a mess. 3. Select the individual object(s) that you want to edit, e.g. both whites of the eyes. 4. Use the Drawing Tools to modify the object(s). 5. Repeat Steps 3-4 for all objects you want to recolor. In my case I recolored the lion's: o Whites of the eyes (Shape Fill with Color). o Letters in the word “Leo” (Shape Fill with Texture). o Outer band around the drawing (Shape Fill with Gradient). Hope this helps. It should clear up the mystery--many folks claim you can no longer do it, but you can. In fact, it seems easier to me. Walter Fort Lauderdale
