Apr 19, 2013 at 21:40 comment added Scott Great, if this answers your question, you should tick the check mark on the left.
Apr 19, 2013 at 21:29 comment added John Oh I think I found my answer. You answer worked; I was just missing one step on the PowerPoint end--I had to ungroup the image first before modifying the color.
Apr 19, 2013 at 21:27 comment added Scott Well, you used to be able to do this. Seems MS has broken PowerPoint 2011 on my Mac. You should be able to insert an emf or wmf, ungroup, then ungroup again and refill any piece. This worked for Office 2007 here but I no longer have that version installed.
Apr 19, 2013 at 21:15 comment added John No, I just want to be able to apply Fill Color/Gradient Fill on an image with a single color... similar to the way you can recolor a MSOffice clip art using Fill Color. Edit: I know there is a "Recolor" feature on Office 2010; however, I want to use Gradient Fill too. So I just figured, if I can recolor a custom image using Fill color, then it would be possible to use Gradient Fill too.
Apr 19, 2013 at 21:10 comment added Scott Are you trying to recolor just one piece of artwork within a file? That's not going to work. That doesn't even work with Microsoft clip art. It simply sounds like you are asking for too much from Microsoft apps.
Apr 19, 2013 at 21:05 comment added John I just made a square using a pen tool, and then exported it as a WMF and EMF file. Then I tried using fill color on PowerPoint, and it still only colors the transparent background of the square.
Apr 19, 2013 at 21:01 comment added John Okay I did this... but I still can't recolor the intended area. What am I doing wrong? 8(
