================================================

Try the following steps...

Right click the object you wish to fill and from the

menu choose...Format.

On the Format screen...go to...Colors and Lines tab /

Fill Effects button / Gradient tab / tick Two Colors

Open the drop windows to choose Color 1 and Color 2.

The following article may be worth a look:

    Hello,

    The gradient option in Publisher 2013 is slightly changed where you do not have the separate fields called**‘One color and Two color’** under ‘Gradient’ tab in ‘Format’ option.

    However it has an advanced option where in you can fill in multiple color gradients by using the slide bar available.

    The slide bar called ‘Gradient Stop’ under ‘Gradient fill’ allows you to fill multiple colors as required and it is not stick only to ‘Two color’ options, which also has an option to ‘Add Gradient Stop /Remove’ as required to fill.

    For further clarifications, reply and we would be happy to assist.

    Thank you.

    Nope...this doesn't work in Publisher 2013...  The fill tab is entirely different for gradient effects.  I can't find a way to do two-color anymore, either...
