It would be very useful for writers of long documents who use color coding to
return to areas in progress if there was a Find[Color] with a drop down box
to select the appropriate color.

Also, is there a way to link one Word document to another, so that I could
build an outline in one Word document and then link entries in it to the
appropriate sections in my long manuscript?

Thanks

If you're talking about font color, you can search for that using Find.
Click More to expand the dialog, then click Format | Font and select the
color.

Here's a further tip, in case the colors you're using are from the
"More Colors" part of the format dialog rather than from the standard
display:

Instead of applying the color directly to the text, create a character
style whose only attribute is the custom color. Create a separate
style for each different color, and assign keyboard shortcuts or
toolbar buttons for the styles. Apply the appropriate character style
to any text whose color you want to change.

Having done that, you can search for one of those character styles
instead of trying to choose the right color from the Format dialog.
After clicking More in the Find dialog, choose Format | Style and
select the character style for the color you want.
