SUMMARY
=======

The Productivity Pack incorrectly states that you can change the color of dimmed
text by entering the line

     DimmedText=red green blue

in the [COLORS] section of the WIN.INI file.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To locate the instructions in the Productivity Pack, select:

1. Working Smarter

2. A Personal Touch

3. Adding color to buttons and dimmed text

The suggested line "DimmedText=red green blue" is not valid.

However, the instruction

  GrayText=red green blue

will produce the desired change in color.
