Somehow i managed to change my Publisher document to greyscale for printing
and subsequent photocopying, but now can't find how to turn it back to color.
Have tried the obvious things, like changing the printer from B&W back to
color but this hasn't worked. Also, when I try right clicking a picture and
going to 'recolor', the palette of options is in greyscale only.

Any ideas?

Try the color schemes... Format, color schemes, it maybe set to black and white.

Select a picture, on the picture toolbar, click the color icon, click automatic.

Thanks, Mary. I tried the first suggestion and the problem is, when I go to
Format in Publisher, the color schemes button is not available (greyed out).
Also tried the second suggestion but that made no difference either.

Any other ideas?

What happens if you copy one of the images and paste it into a new instance of
Publisher? Does the image revert back to color? You may have to re-work this
document. Have you tried the commercial printing settings?

Ah, that's it! I had to go to Tools/Commercial Printing Tools/Color Printing
and revert to Any Color (RGB) rather than Single Color. THanks so much, Mary!
