MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS 20 RGB Color Reference (Microsoft PowerPoint) Color matching with office applications Your Color Server user software includes two RGB color reference pages, a Microsoft Word file and a Microsoft PowerPoint file. You can print these files using different RGB print options to see how the colors appear when printed to the Color Server. For best results, print the color reference page using the same print options you plan to use for your final document. Select the colors that you want to use from the printed version of the RGB color reference page and use those colors in your document. Working with office applications Before printing from these applications, make sure that the appropriate printer driver and the Color Server PPD (PostScript Printer Description) are installed on your computer, as described in Printing. Defining colors Office applications use the RGB color model. The only way to use CMYK or PANTONE colors is to define them in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format files with an illustration or page layout application, and then place these files in Microsoft Office documents. Colors in EPS files are preserved until they reach the Color Server (assuming no PostScript color management information was included). Office applications display EPS files at low resolution, but the EPS objects are printed at full resolution. In general, use EPS files only when RGB colors are impractical in your specific workflow. EPS files are useful when large or complex objects must be printed at full resolution or exceed the memory allocation of some office applications.
