Color fill doesn't let you select a color. Colors greyed out.
Trying to use the color fill button. When selected all the colors are greyed
out, therefore, I cannot select a color to fill. What to do? -- Diane |

You must select an AutoShape before you can select a fill color.

What is "the item" that you want to apply a fill color to?

Fill Color applies only to AutoShapes. If you're trying to add color shading
to text or a table, you need to use Format | Borders and Shading. Although the Shading Color button on the Tables and Borders toolbar uses the same paint can icon as the Fill Color button, they are different things. -- Suzanne S.
