Change Default Colors - Word 2000
You'll be advised by others to use styles. I use many computers have found
styles to work inconsistently from one to another; I also don't always have something with my styles with me. So here's my workaround. I create a document with all my custom colors. copy text with the color you want into your document, the color is now the default on the text color icon. once you go to another custom color that becomes the default; to get back to the one you want, select that color of text and go into custom colors then exit custom colors. it's the default on the icon again. you can use format painter (paintbrush icon) too.

We have 17 'corporate' colors and I would like to add them as default colors instead of mixing them every time I want to use them. |

Change Default Colors - Word 2000
If you're going to carry this document with you, you could just as easily
carry a template in which you have saved your styles. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "dawn.aquila" wrote in message ...
