    Default Color choice missing

    I can't find all of the color choices in the file and stroke tools. The only thing that shows is 2 black swatches and 1 white swatch. When I click on the right arrow, all I see is a check mark next to swatches. There are not other choices. How do I get choices back?

    What OS are you using?

    Quit FHMX. Dig down in Application Support for FreeHand MX and find a folder
    called Color Swatches. It should contain the file 'Color Cubes.BCF'. Color
    Cubes is a library of web safe colors. You can copy (not move) other BCF
    color libraries to that folder as well.

    You might have to reinstall FHMX if you no longer have a copy of 'Color
    Cubes.BCF' on your machine.
