Topic: Line & Fill colours in PPX9

This is driving me crazy. I have been trying to draw a simple circle, line colour red, and fill colour transparent. I can draw this OK when I open a new publication, but when I open the template for my weekly newsletter, I cannot change it from a pale colour (red in this case) & pale fill (red). I've tried everything I can find to change the template.

I would start a new template but there's a lot to transfer over.

Have attached a plain ppp file, with the problem circle in it.

Re: Line & Fill colours in PPX9

Hi
I did attach a video showing how it's done - quicker than trying to explain but I think it failed.
This is what I did:
Open your file.
Select the circle.
Top right menu select Line - it is set to wavy, change it to straight.
Select Colour, click on Line box, select colour.
Click on Fill box, select None.
It worked for me.

Re: Line & Fill colours in PPX9

I just selected your circle, went to the Colour tab, and selected a transparent fill.

What am I missing?

Re: Line & Fill colours in PPX9

Thanks for the help folks. I was able to fix the faded colour which had been set to an automatic preset. I changed in Styles & all back to normal now.

And also I have found the difference when posting: One has not only to Choose File, but also to Add file, before posting.
