SYMPTOMS
If you recolor an OLE object in a Publisher publication, and then edit the
object, the object reverts to its original colors while you are editing it.
When you finish editing the object, the recoloring will again take effect.
CAUSE
Publisher recolors a picture or object by converting it to a grayscale
image and then mapping that grayscale image as shades of the new color you
choose. This technique does not modify the original color information in
the picture or OLE object; it just filters while it is in Publisher.
As soon as you give another program (an OLE source application) control of
the object, the original color information returns until control of the
object is given back to Publisher.
