There is no way to save custom colors for shading except as part of an
AutoText entry. Shading color can be defined as part of a paragraph style or
table style, but the former won't shade the entire cell, and the latter
doesn't work very well.

I am defining a custom color to be entered in a cell for a word document.
I
am following a template document so the layout is already pre-set. Is
there
a way to save a custom color in word so that it can be applied by a click
of
the mouse instead of entering the colour information for every single cell
i
want changed? (Cell sizes vary in this document so a cut + paste option
does
not work)

Thank You everyone!
