ID: Q198010
|
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARY
This article describes which formatting elements are turned off on a page
that is using themes and how to regain control over the formatting options.
MORE INFORMATION
The following formatting elements are components of a theme and are not
available on a page-by-page basis without the use of embedded styles to
override the theme settings:
- Background images
- Background colors
- Default body text colors
- Hyperlink colors
- Custom border colors for tables
When you apply a theme, the Custom Colors options for Border, Light Border,
and Dark Border in the Table Properties dialog box are unavailable.
Since all of these properties are specified by a theme, the settings for
Custom Border colors in the Table Properties dialog become unnecessary.
To regain individual control over these elements on a given page or an
entire Web, turn off the option to use themes. To do this, following these
steps:
- In FrontPage, click Theme on the Format menu.
- Select "No Theme" in the Themes dialog box.
- Click OK.
To retain the theme but override only selected elements on a page, use
one or more of the following procedures.
