I don't think so. When you extract the graphic back out of the document
(save as a picture), the color is still true, and the CMYK values match
up as well as the RGB values. It's only while it's being displayed in
the document (print or screen) that I have the problem.

No one on Word-PC had any ideas about this one, so I'm afraid I might
have stumped the band.

Could it be a CMYK vs. RGB color mode issue?
