Hi, does anybody know how I can use the colour swatch to change the outline colour of an object I've just drawn? When I select a colour from the colour swatch, it changes the fill colour of the object. It's probably something obvious, but I can't work it out. (I used the eyedropper in the meantime, but it's not ideal.)
Many thanks.

Re: Using colour swatch to change outline colour
On the Attribute tool bar there should be a color swatch beside Border, click on it to change the color of the object's border, unless you're referring to an Outline object. To change it, you need to have the outline drawing tool selected, then click on the color swatch located on the left end of the attribute toolbar, beside the shapes.

Re: Using colour swatch to change outline colour
Hi Ron, thanks for your reply, but I didn't make myself very clear in my original post. I meant to say that I was trying to use the colour swatches in the 'Color Panel' window, so that I could use some colours which I had saved to the swatch. I have a feeling that this isn't possible unfortunately.
