[mso] Re: PowerPoint Question---"Mixing Colors"

This may be a little OT but ...

You're probably choosing the wrong blue and yellow to make green. Try a
warm blue -- more towards turquoise -- and a cool yellow -- more lemony,
with no orange tint. Funny you should be mixing these particular colors:
there's a famous color theory book called *Blue and Yellow Don't Make
Green*.

Hi Claudia,

I tried that and was not able to force green to come out of it. I get a
different color...but it is kind of beige...not green.

Hi Burt,

Select a circle.

On the drawing toolbar, click on the Fill Color button arrow and then
click on More Fill Colors...=20

On the bottom of the dialog box that comes up, there will be a
Transparency slider. Choose the amount of transparency you want, eg.
50%.

Do the same for the second circle. This should cause the intersecting
portion to be green.=20

Kind regards,

Claudia
