How to get Sumi Painting back

[James Ivey]

I managed to delete Sumi Painting as one of my AutoFormats (open a form in
design mode>click Format>AutoFormat)

Could someone tell me how to get it back?

I've uninstalled, reinstalled and repaired Office - to no avail. Tried
renaming the Microsoft Office folder and reinstall - no joy. Went poking
around in the Registry and didn't see anything obvious.

Its a small thing, but I sure would like to get it back.

Anyone?

The file name is:

ACSUMIPT.GIF

Look for it at:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Bitmaps\Styles\

Hi Arvin,

I've got that file right where it is supposed to be, but Sumi Painting is
still not in the list of AutoFormats.

How do I get it back into the list?

I think you'll need to rebuild it. Create a new form with all the attributes
you want, including background, font, border, etc. Open the form in Design
View. From the Format menu, choose Autoformat, then Customize and name your
Format. That should do it.

Thanks Arvin. Good tip.

Here's what I did:
Create a Sumi form on another computer with Access, save the Sumi db.
Transfer the Sumi db to my home box (with my good db)
Open Sumi db and export the form into my good db
Open it up and do just like you said.

Sweet success. Sumi is the only AutoFormat I care for... I was bummin' that
I deleted it.

Thanks again.

James
