This post will show you how new I am to PP2000.
I am trying to create a presentation and follow the same color scheme that
is on the business cards I am using in the pesentation. Does PowerPoint 2000
Professional have the ability like the color picker tool in either Adobe
Photoshop?
Perhaps a key-combination? A command that I haven't found yet? ;-)
I can get all the way to custom color and tried the color scheme thing but
still you are left guessing at the right color.

It is really hard to get the exact same color but just eyeballing it.

TIA Sincerely!!

Unfortunately PowerPoint does not have a color Picker. But there's a free
tool, which you can download here: www.nattyware.com/pixie.html. It works
very well for me, I use it to read the RGB-Values of a color and type them
into the custom colors.

Best regards,
Ute

Thank you so much, I can't believe I missed that area where you could type
in the color values!!
