• sudeepunnikrishnan Change the colour that indicates sections that are editable

  Hi We are developing a Word/VSTO solution that contains editable sections. The issue is that if you turn the off "Highlight the regions I can edit" it is very difficult for the users to determine where they can write.

The 16 x 16 image is not used for the splash screen, instead the 32 x 32 image is resized for the tiny splashscreen icon space which doesn't look good. Before I switched to use managed resource only, the logo works fine wi ...Show All
