To sample a colour from any image or graphic (or anything on your screen), like the eyedropper did previously in PowerPoint (and despite some forums stating that there never was an eyedropper), you now have to:

- Select 'more colours' from any of the fill menus

- Select the magnifying glass

- When you click with the magnifying glass over any image or graphic it will drop the colour below it, just like an eyedropper, into any graphic etc that has been selected.

One more step to find it, and telepathy required to recognise that a magnifying glass icon now replaces an eyedropper.
If it wasn't broken, why fix it?
If anyone can give me a good reason why the eyedropper has exited for this, I'd like to hear it.

But if there's a will, there's a way (usually despite, not because of the updates). Enjoy the mystery that is MSO.

Thanks for this, but I don't see a magnifying glass in the more colors option. Where did they hide this?

Also, it appears the actual button "Pick Up Object Style" doesn't do anything?!?
