Saving a custom color
When I'm using the custom color chart to color text, is there any way to
save a specific color without setting it up each time? for instance: hue 2 ..........red 222 sat 255 .........grn 11 lum 111 .......blu 0 DSG |

Saving a custom color
Create a character style whose only formatting is Default paragraph style
plus the custom color. Store that style in a template and apply it to any text that needs it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Saving a custom color
Now why didn't I think of that? I make templates all the time and am quite
used to creating my own styles. I just never thought to include a style just for a color. I'll call the paragraph style RED. Thank you! I think I've been working too long today.

Saving a custom color
I apparently need a little help here. I can do a character style for an
underlying font, but can not get rid of a font size when I'm making up the style. I don't find a default paragraph style. I do find a default paragraph font. Otherwise, I must make a font color for each font style I use. for instance, then, I would have to create and name the styles on the outside of my brochu Red Monotype Corsiva 36 and Red Arial 9 Is that what your mean, Jay?

Saving a custom color
Character styles should be based on Default Paragraph Font. For an
understanding of that, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/DefParaFont.htm -- Suzanne S.

Saving a custom color
Okay, I see the factor in this case was 'a fresh document based on the
default Normal.dot' - It was not a fresh document, but one for which I had already created a template. Good advice. My project is big, but I can clean up the formatted text and copy back into a fresh document from a new clean normal.dot - and then create the color styles which will carry over to all this group of documents. Thank you. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Character styles should be based on Default Paragraph Font.

Saving a custom color
Word 2000
Success (new clean template to modify default paragraph font Format Style give it a new name for instance Red 222-11 format font go to the font color charts, choose custom tab, type in the color numbers (I only needed red 222 and green 11 for my preferred shade of red) add to template. And I'm good to go. I see, though, (for newbies for this procedure) I can select the red 222-11 style from the style bar either before I type the text and format it, or after I've typed the text, but before I have added my font styles and font sizes - which is fine. I have already figured out how to create headers, headings, captions already formatted and colored by modifying Word's styles, but that means for every different style you are creating, you must keep going back to the custom color tab to reapply the color (and did you forget the number combinations you had decided on?). I just got tired of spending so much time running back there. Thanks Jay Freedman, Suzanne, and also Shauna Kelly's How to modify a style in Word DSG "DSG" wrote in message ...
