colour box hidden on 'paint' program

[crisgal]

please help! I am at school, doing some work with the children. They love the paint program where they draw then print their own designs. We've come back to it after lunch and the colour palette box isn't there. Even if i click on hide/show, it's still not on the screen.
Has anyone any idea what I have done?!

right click anywhere on the bar where it says Home/View then select the minimize ribbon option, might do it......Just selecting home should also show it....I'm not really familiar with this progam so can't suggest what you have done apart from minimizing the top ribbon...

Try this:- In the top left hand side of the screen in the "Paint" screen, where it has 'File', 'Edit', 'View' etc, click on "View" and a drop-down menu should appear. Make sure "Color Box" is ticked.

...mmm......well I think it depends what version of "Paint" you have....I am on Win7 with version 6.1 which doesn't have anywhere to click on Colour Box...just have a wide ribbon of tools one of which is the palette of colours.......

Clicck View at top left and check that there is a
tick against color box.
