SUMMARY
=======
 
The information about the mapping of Word table colors is not found in the
PowerPoint versions 4.0 or 4.0a for Windows Readme Help files. The file
was updated in version 4.0c to include this information. The information
applies to all versions of PowerPoint 4.0.
 
However, the information in the PowerPoint 4.0c Help topic is incorrect.
 
README HELP (CORRECTED)
=======================
 
How colors are mapped from Word 6.0 tables to PowerPoint's color schemes.
 
Text colors in the table object are mapped to the Text & Lines color
position shown in the Slide Color Scheme dialog box. Table Fills and
Borders are mapped based on the following table:

   Black                   Accent (middle)
